On Dec. 13, 2020, news broke of a significant security breach at SolarWinds. To mitigate any potential risks to the bank and its clients, Reliant's security team immediately conducted a thorough investigation of all systems and found no evidence of any data compromise. As part of the investigative process, we followed the recommendations of U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and SolarWinds and shut down all SolarWinds services as a precautionary step until the proper patch was implemented.

Reliant Bank is committed to cyber security and has an active risk management program that monitors and patches its networks, thoroughly reviews and vets all vendors and works to ensure business continuity. We consider nothing more important than the security of customer information and proactively monitor all systems and vendors to ensure the safety of your data.
