Re:What Is Your Bank’s Security Banking On? on Wednesday March 07, 2018 @02:07PM (#16538897)
(Disclaimer: Founder of another Banking Tech Company - Akouba - we have a commercial lending platform for banks).

Echoing the sentiments above - the current state of banking & security is quite appalling. Because of the outsourcing mentioned above, most bank leadership is so limited in their understanding of technology that they struggle to make decisions weighing tradeoffs of security vs functionality.

We've also seen the problem of new tech co's who are built questionable stacks with little thought given to the security aspect.

Hoya - would be great to connect and hear more about the solution and your experiences. Shoot me a message (nick@<our domain>).

We're a part of Techstars Chicago. I'm a founder & CTO. We're looking to bring on our first engineer.

Rails (web app) & Python (data analytics) shop Looking for backend experience (doesn't have to be Rails) plus one of the following:

JS frameworks

System admin

DB admin

Data analytics

We're a SaaS company that provides banks a platform to streamline the processing of small business loans. Banks can now offer the simplicity and speed of the online lenders (OnDeck, Lending Club) but with much, much better terms for the entrepreneur.
