Strengthening financial security with Microsoft Defender and Sentinel

Advantis Credit Union partnered with Atmosera to modernize its security operations and strengthen the protection of member data using Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Sentinel. Facing increasing cyber threats and limitations with a legacy SIEM, Advantis sought a modern, scalable security platform to improve visibility, response times, and compliance readiness.

Advantis Credit Union now operates as a division of Rivermark Community Credit Union following its acquisition.
