Proactively protect the bank ’ s brand , employees and clients from cyberthreats .

Solution :

Allied Bank already had threat intelligence feeds coming from different publicly available resources but correlating this data and analyzing it in the context of threat activity within the financial industry was time-consuming , error-prone and not all-encompassing . The team wanted enriching and enhanced intelligence on a consolidated platform .
