Financial Institution Security Solutions

Cook Solutions Group designs and supports complete security ecosystems for financial institutions. From ATM and ITM fraud prevention to branch hardening, cloud access control, and video systems, we help you secure people, assets, and customer data across every location.
Instead of juggling multiple vendors and platforms, you get one partner that understands banking, compliance expectations, and the realities of running a modern branch network.
Layered Security for Banks and Credit Unions
Security is designed around how financial institutions actually operate.
Your branches and self-service channels face unique risks. You are protecting cash, customer data, high-value equipment, and staff, often across dozens or hundreds of locations.
CSG builds layered programs that combine:
- Logical and physical security around ATMs and ITMs
- Branch and operations center video surveillance
- Alarm systems tuned for high-value environments
- Safe and vault solutions for cash and valuables
- Cloud access control for branches, offices, and operations teams
Each solution is designed to plug into a larger ecosystem, not stand alone. That means better visibility, simpler audits, and faster incident response.
Core Solutions for Financial Institutions
ATM and ITM Security Solutions for Financial Institutions
Stop ATM and ITM attacks before they become losses. CSG delivers multi-layered protection that covers physical attacks, skimming, malware, jackpotting, and fraud across your terminal fleet. Real-time monitoring, device analytics, and intelligent alerts help your teams see suspicious patterns quickly and shut down risk before it spreads.
You can extend this protection across mixed vendor fleets and existing networks so your institution does not have to start over to modernize ATM and ITM security.
Alarm Systems for Branches, ATMs, and Operations
Alarms are foundational for any branch or operations center. CSG designs intrusion and alarm systems specifically for high-value, high-risk locations like banks and credit unions. Systems are configured around your branch layout, ATMs and ITMs, safes, night drops, and cash handling spaces.
Alarms are tightly integrated with video and access control so your team can verify events quickly, reduce false dispatches, and improve response time.
Bullet and Riot Resistant Glass Laminate (UL Rated)
Harden vulnerable areas of your branches without rebuilding them from scratch. Bullet and riot resistant laminate is applied to the inside of existing windows and glass, helping create safer lobbies, teller lines, offices, and executive spaces.
Because the laminate is installed on your existing glass, you can increase protection against forced entry, riots, and ballistic threats while keeping downtime and construction costs low. It is particularly effective for street-level locations, drive-up areas, and exposed lobbies.
Cloud Access Control for FIs and Businesses
Modern access control for financial institutions needs to support multiple branches, operations centers, and corporate offices. CSG’s cloud access control centralizes door management, users, and locations into a single platform.
Your security and facilities teams can:
- Add or remove users in real time
- Manage access across multiple locations from a single dashboard
- Use mobile credentials instead of or beside physical cards
- Generate audit-ready access reports for regulators and internal teams
Because it is cloud based, you avoid heavy on-premises servers and give your institution a scalable way to control access as you grow.
