Illini Tech Services Expands Penetration Testing and Cybersecurity Services for Financial Institutions
CARLINVILLE, Ill., February 10, 2026 (Newswire.com) - Illini Tech Services, a managed IT and cybersecurity provider serving financial institutions across the Midwest, today announced the continued expansion of its penetration testing and vulnerability management services designed specifically for banks, credit unions, and other regulated financial organizations.
As cyber threats targeting financial institutions continue to increase in sophistication and frequency, regulatory pressure is also intensifying. Since June 2023, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) has required annual penetration testing and biannual vulnerability scanning, while FINRA strongly encourages routine testing as a core component of a mature cybersecurity program. Illini Tech Services helps financial institutions meet these expectations while strengthening their overall security posture.
