Co-op Services Credit Union Partners with Cyveillance to Protect
Customers Against Phishing Attacks
Credit Unions Account for Over 30% of All Businesses Targeted for
Phishing Attacks Regardless of Size or Industry
ARLINGTON, Va. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) August 6, 2007 --
Cyveillance, a global leader in
cyber intelligence, today announced a partnership with Co-op
Services Credit Union (CSCU) to enhance existing security measures
for protecting online customers from phishing attacks. With more and
more phishing attacks targeting credit unions, CSCU turned to
Cyveillance for its proven track record in providing advanced warning of
potential phishing attacks through comprehensive Internet monitoring and
its guaranteed take-down service.
“As phishing attacks become more sophisticated
and targeted, financial institutions cannot idly standby and expect the
burden of security to fall upon its users,”
said Norm Thomas, Vice President of Information Systems of Co-op
Services Credit Union. “Once we partnered with
Cyveillance, we quickly changed our anti-phishing security posture from
reactive to proactive."
Cyveillance
Anti-PhishingTM
will monitor the Internet for phishing scams targeting CSCU members
through junk email, fraudulent domain name registrations, and systematic
monitoring of the Web. In addition, Cyveillance will also provide site
take-down services, which include a Service
Level Agreement (SLA) guaranteeing to shut down any phishing sites
in five hours or less. Cyveillance Anti-Phishing also includes automated
phishing site blocking -- through Cyveillance partners such as AOL and
Microsoft – to prevent Internet users from
reaching identified sites during the brief takedown period.
“The Internet continues to grow in leaps and
bounds, and with that growth comes increased security risks and
challenges,” said Panos Anastassiadis, CEO of
Cyveillance. “We take pride in being able to
tailor our services to each client and deliver to them the intelligence
they need to take the appropriate security measures in eliminating the
threat of identity theft and fraud to unsuspecting online customers.”
