How Technology Is Changing Credit Unions in 2026
Mobile apps, shared branching, instant payments and fraud tools let small credit unions match big-bank convenience. Here is what is changing for members and managers in 2026.
Protecting devices such as laptops, phones, and servers that connect to a network from malware, exploitation, and misuse.
Every device that connects to a corporate network is an endpoint and a potential entry point for attackers. With remote work and personal devices, the number and variety of endpoints has grown, making them a frequent target.
Endpoint security has evolved from traditional antivirus, which matched files against known malware signatures, to endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools that monitor behavior, such as a word processor suddenly launching a script, and let analysts investigate and isolate infected machines. Other components include disk encryption, device management, patching, application control, and firewalls on each device. XDR platforms extend this visibility by correlating endpoint data with network, email, and cloud signals.
Security software, known as EDR, that continuously monitors computers and servers to detect, investigate, and stop threats.
MalwareMalicious software designed to damage, disrupt, spy on, or gain unauthorized access to computers and networks.
Mobile Device ManagementSoftware, known as MDM, that lets an organization configure, secure, and monitor the phones, tablets, and laptops used for work.
XDRExtended Detection and Response: a security approach that combines data from endpoints, networks, email, cloud, and identity to detect and stop threats.
