Protecting What Matters
A Cybersecurity Upgrade at Stillwater Capital Management
By Taylor Broach, Taylored Technology
When you trust a firm with your financial future, you're also trusting them with something just as valuable: your personal information. The team at Stillwater Capital Management takes that responsibility seriously, which is why they asked us to strengthen the technology that protects the firm's documents and client data. Here's a plain-English look at what we're doing and why it matters to you.
A stronger front door
Every piece of information that flows in or out of the office passes through the firm's network. We're replacing the existing router and Wi-Fi system with a modern, business-grade router and firewall — think of it as upgrading from a standard door lock to a monitored security system. It inspects traffic coming into the office and helps block threats before they ever reach a computer.
Smarter email protection
Email is the number-one way attackers target financial firms, usually through convincing fake messages known as phishing. We're adding advanced email security to every mailbox at Stillwater that uses artificial intelligence to spot and quarantine suspicious messages — including impersonation attempts designed to look like they come from someone you know.
Protection on every computer
Each office computer is getting professional-grade antivirus and anti-malware software, along with remote monitoring tools that let us keep an eye on the health and security of every machine. If something looks wrong, we know about it quickly — often before anyone in the office notices.
Keeping the lights on
Security also means reliability. We're installing battery backup and intelligent power management for the firm's core network equipment, so a power flicker or outage doesn't interrupt the systems the team relies on to serve you.
What this means for you
You don't need to do anything differently. These upgrades work quietly in the background, adding multiple layers of defense around the firm's documents and your personal information. It's one more way Stillwater Capital Management is investing in your peace of mind.
