(Springfield, IL) July 15, 2020 – Today, Community BancService Corporation, Inc. (CBSC), the business services subsidiary of the Community Bankers Association of Illinois (CBAI), announced it has endorsed Ironcore, Inc. as its exclusive Preferred Partner for Managed IT and Cybersecurity Services.
“Now, CBAI members will have preferred access to a leader in the IT profession that provides more than a one-size-fits-all solution for their managed IT services,” said Mike Kelley, CBSC President. He added, “The outsource all IT or nothing approach to the managed IT services model that many providers utilize does not address the unique needs of most community banks.” He concluded, “Bankers are searching for a trusted partner that will help strengthen their IT and cybersecurity program without disrupting its current staffing and cost model. The banker-leadership at CBSC is convinced Ironcore is that partner.”
As an FDIC examined provider of technology services and business continuity solutions Ironcore has worked with community banks to develop strategic IT plans that secure, simplify, and strengthen their technology systems for over a decade. Ironcore is proud to continue to service and provide its extensive expertise to community banks through CBSC’s Preferred Partner program in the following areas:
- Network Management
- Cloud Infrastructure (FFIEC examined Data Center)
- Data Back-up and Rapid Disaster Recovery
- Regulatory Compliance Guidance
- Proactive Cybersecurity
- IT Project Implementation
- Helpdesk
- Hardware and Software Procurement
“We are very happy to achieve this distinction from CBSC,” said Pat Peterson VP of Sales and Marketing for Ironcore. “We appreciate the CBSC Board recognizing Ironcore’s value to CBAI member banks facing the challenge of maintaining a secure and compliant IT network infrastructure while controlling the cost to support evolving technologies.”
