Mortgage lenders handle sensitive personal and financial data daily, making them prime targets for cybercriminals. Recently, Mortgage Investors Group (MIG), a major lender in the Southeastern U.S., confirmed a cyberattack by the Black Basta ransomware group, which compromised customer information including full names and financial details (The Record).

Incidents like this highlight the urgent need for advanced, proactive cybersecurity solutions that go beyond traditional defenses.

 Why Traditional Security Isn’t Enough

Standard antivirus or firewall protections are no longer sufficient against modern ransomware and phishing attacks. Financial institutions face:

• Sophisticated malware like Black Basta
  
  
• Real-time threats targeting sensitive financial data
  
  
• High risk of regulatory fines and reputational damage
  
  
• Long recovery times and operational downtime
  

Mortgage lenders need AI-driven cybersecurity that can predict, detect, and neutralize threats instantly.
