Providing advanced monitoring for websites impersonating NCU-ISAO members

BOSTON, Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — To address escalating online fraud targeting credit unions, the National Credit Union Information Sharing and Analysis Organization (NCU-ISAO) today announced a strategic partnership with Allure Security – the fastest, most accurate online brand protection-as-a-service provider. At the heart of the partnership, NCU-ISAO members benefit from complimentary AI-powered monitoring to detect websites impersonating their institutions.

“Allure Security’s automated monitoring of the deluge of both legitimate and malicious websites published each day gives our members an advantage in the fight against fraud,” said NCU-ISAO VP Member Services & Operations Brian Hinze. “This collaboration supports our mission of enabling and sustaining credit unions’ cyber resilience through real-time, proactive threat intelligence.”

Brand impersonation attacks targeting credit unions tripled in 2023, according to Allure Security’s “SPOOF23: Trends in Online Brand Impersonations for Credit Unions“. The study also found that defenses focused on domain permutations (e.g., typosquatting) missed 94 percent of fake websites.

“With fraud schemes increasing in sophistication and the mounting difficulty of discerning authenticity online – credit unions need the right tools and allies to protect their members,” said Allure Security CEO Josh Shaul. “We’re proud to join NCU-ISAO in the fight, equipping credit unions with technology to safeguard their members in the digital realm.”
