Cooperative Association announces partnership with Smart Hive

The Cooperative Credit Union Association (CCUA) announced a new partnership with Smart Hive, providing a highly effective and affordable way to give credit unions end-to-end protection against the most sophisticated forms of cyber-attacks. Smart Hive leverages the cooperative power of credit unions to serve as a powerful threat detection – and prevention – tool against malicious cyber-attacks, both locally and globally.

CCUA President/CEO Ron McLean said, “As the risks related to cybersecurity grow, CCUA is proud to partner with an innovative company like Smart Hive that provides tools to help credit unions protect themselves against an attack that could ultimately prevent them from serving their members.”

Known as ‘Waze for Cybersecurity’ Smart Hive is vendor and technology agnostic, allowing members to learn from other members in real-time. The Smart Hive Smart Score application offers one of the industry’s highest levels of protection from the full spectrum of cyber-attacks…at a fraction of the cost of national brands.

“When it comes to cybersecurity for credit unions, an attack on one means defense for all,” noted Smart Hive CEO Sanjay Patel. “In addition to monitoring the credit union’s own tech stack, we can monitor third-party vendors to further mitigate risks associated with a cyber-attack, including reputation risk. Smart Score is similar to a FICO score for your entire IT structure, systems and compliance policies.”

 Smart Hive services offered include:

• Daily backups
• All systems patched
• No end-of-life infrastructure
• Information sharing with fellow CUs
• Endpoint malware protection 24/7
• Smart Score
