ValleyStar Credit Union IT Department wins Community of Trust Awards

Matt Davis

The ValleyStar Credit Union information technology (IT) department won two Community of Trust Awards for "Most Efficient Onboarding" and “Time-to-Value” at the DefenseStorm Client Appreciation Events last week.

DefenseStorm is the ValleyStar security data platform that assists in protecting the credit union network security. The platform logs data, and compiles it into one system that alerts the credit union if there is anything out of the ordinary detected. DefenseStorm alerts on many different types of cyber security related incidents, allowing ValleyStar to protect members from fraud and other suspicious activity.

“Onboarding a new program is never an easy task,” said Matt Davis, director of IT & cybersecurity. “Our team was determined to get the DefenseStorm platform running and we did it in record-breaking time. This created efficiency for our team and guides us toward achieving our vision of being the best in service and convenience for our members.”
​
The ValleyStar IT department implemented DefenseStorm earlier this year. DefenseStorm onboarding typically takes several months, but the IT department had the platform running within the first month.
