Financial institution security solutions company Jack Henry and NuData Security have formed a partnership to provide all of Jack Henry’s Banno digital platform users access to its passive biometrics and behavioral analytics technology.

This security push comes at the heels of 7,098 data breaches that exposed over 15 billion user credentials (RiskBased Security). The stolen credentials and personally identifiable information are available on the Dark Web for schemes such as account takeover and credential stuffing attacks.

“Cybercrime is more sophisticated than ever and the costs are mounting,” said Greg Adelson, COO, Jack Henry. “With more people moving to digital as their primary point of contact, it’s essential that financial institutions serve them in a way that protects their identity, assets, and loyalty. We’ve found an approach to achieve that balance through behavioral intelligence powered by NuData.”
