Cybersecurity in Finance

/

Financial institutions are among the most targeted organizations in the world. From community banks and credit unions to wealth management firms, fintech companies and accounting organizations—businesses handling sensitive financial data face an increasingly complex cyber threat landscape.
Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue. It has become a business continuity concern, a regulatory requirement, a customer trust imperative, and a competitive advantage.
As cybercriminals become more sophisticated and attack surfaces continue to expand through cloud applications, remote work, mobile devices, and third-party integrations—financial organizations need more than reactive support. They require strategic technology guidance, proactive security monitoring, and a layered defense strategy designed to protect critical assets.
LBMC Technology Solutions helps financial organizations strengthen their operations through comprehensive Managed IT Services, TechCare® and TechSecure® solutions—helping businesses improve security, support compliance requirements and build resilience against evolving cyber threats.

The Shiny New Toy

/

AI has become the shiny new toy in the business world. It’s dominating the conversation, from boardrooms and industry conferences to the news and everyday life. Organizations are eager to get AI projects moving, and understandably, no one wants to miss the bandwagon.
I share that excitement. In fact, I’m steering my own career toward AI security and governance because AI has changed, and will continue to change, how we work, live and play. The rapid growth of AI, and more importantly the speed at which people are adopting it, will have a more profound impact on our daily lives than the PC or the internet did. Research from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis found that nearly 40% of U.S. adults had used generative AI within two years of ChatGPT’s launch, roughly double the internet’s adoption rate at the same point. But as a CISSP, one question keeps coming back to me: in the race to become an “AI company,” how do we make sure security, privacy, intellectual property rights and governance keep pace?
It’s a question worth asking early, because it’s much easier to build these protections in from the start than to add them later.

$545,000 Phishing Scam That Was a Wake-up Call

/

Most cyberattacks don’t begin with sophisticated malware, ransomware, or a dramatic network breach.
They begin with trust.
A familiar email arrives. A routine request is made. A payment process that has happened dozens of times before moves forward without raising alarms. Then someone realizes the money never reached its intended destination.
That’s exactly what happened in Surfside Beach, South Carolina, where more than $545,000 intended for a contractor was instead transferred to a fraudulent bank account after an attacker inserted themselves into what appeared to be a legitimate business conversation.
The incident quickly became national news, not because of an advanced cyberattack, but because of how ordinary it looked.
For organizations across Tennessee and beyond, this story serves as a reminder that cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue. It is a financial, operational, and business continuity issue.

Navigating the Cybersecurity Landscape

Cybersecurity Pressure Is Not Slowing Down—It’s Compounding
Cybersecurity is no longer an afterthought. For most organizations, it has become a constant, board-level conversation. Leadership teams now expect IT and security leaders to drive innovation, support growth, and defend against threats simultaneously.
The challenge isn’t just the number of threats—it’s the speed of evolution. Attackers are using automation, AI-driven tactics, and increasingly targeted campaigns. Ransomware operations have matured into full-scale business models. Phishing attempts are harder to detect. Even smaller organizations are now prime targets due to perceived weaker defenses.
At the same time, many organizations still treat IT operations and cybersecurity as separate disciplines. This outdated approach creates avoidable risk. When performance and protection operate independently, gaps inevitably emerge, especially when different tools, vendors, or teams are involved.

From Static Reports to Real-Time Dashboards

/

For years, finance teams relied on static reports pulled from ERP systems. These reports delivered clean, structured summaries—usually at the end of a reporting period—and for a while, that was enough. But business doesn’t move at that pace anymore. Today, delays can quickly turn into missed opportunities or unmanaged risks. What worked in a slower environment is starting to fall short. As Bernard Marr, Founder of Bernard Marr & Co. and Forbes contributor, puts it: “Static reports show you where you were. Dashboards show you where you are.”

The Leadership Gap Hidden Inside Most Managed IT Models

/

For many executive teams, Managed IT Services started as a practical decision. Outsource the maintenance. Stabilize the environment. Free internal teams to focus on the business.
That model worked when IT was largely operational. It no longer works today. Technology decisions now determine how quickly companies grow, how well they manage risk, how effectively they control costs, and how resilient they are in the face of disruption. Cloud adoption, cybersecurity pressure, AI investment, regulatory scrutiny—these forces have transformed IT from a support function into a leadership responsibility. And yet, many organizations are still operating under an outdated assumption: that managed tools and responsive support are enough. They aren’t.

Combating the Rising Threat of Cybersecurity in Healthcare

/

Cybercriminals have been going after the healthcare industry more lately, taking advantage of how dependent today’s healthcare organizations are on digital systems and requirements to maintain patient data privacy. Due to the sensitive nature of the data and healthcare organization’s need to stay online, cyberattacks are especially likely to happen in the healthcare field.

These attacks can steal private patient information, stop business and cause tremendous financial losses, both for healthcare organizations and patients whose data is compromised. The Nashville Business Journal recently highlighted the alarming trend of hackers demanding Bitcoin ransoms from healthcare providers, detailing how important it is to have strong cybersecurity measures right away.

Closing the ERP Reporting Gap in Modern Finance

/

Finance teams are running into a familiar problem: the ERP reporting gap. Traditional ERP systems were built for record-keeping and compliance, not for speed or forward-looking insight. The result is static, backward-looking reports that don’t match what modern finance leaders need.
The scale of the issue is significant. According to a 2024 Gartner survey, nearly 70% of finance leaders say their reporting capabilities are too slow to support real-time decision-making. At the same time, a Deloitte study found that over 60% of finance teams still rely on manual data extraction or spreadsheets layered on top of ERP systems, which introduces delays and increases the risk of errors.
