“AI-Powered SOAR Reduces Threat Response Time from 72 Hours to a Minute at Suryoday Bank”
In a significant stride toward strengthening its cybersecurity infrastructure, Suryoday Bank has successfully integrated Securaa, an AI-powered Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platform, with the help of Finesse Cyberhub. The deployment marks a major shift from legacy manual security operations to an automated, intelligent, and scalable cyber defense system.
As one of India’s prominent financial institutions offering a wide range of services, Suryoday Bank faced increasing challenges in managing growing volumes of threat data and security alerts. Its previous system relied heavily on email-based manual workflows, making it increasingly difficult to keep pace with the evolving threat landscape.
“We chose Securaa over other platforms—it’s holistic, cost-effective, and empowering our young analysts to build their own playbooks.” – Anshuman Pund, CISO, Suryoday Bank
Recognizing the need for automation and intelligence-led response, the bank partnered with Finesse, a leading digital transformation integrator, to evaluate and modernize its cybersecurity framework. Following an in-depth assessment by the Finesse Cyberhub team, Securaa was chosen as the most effective SOAR solution to meet the bank’s dynamic security needs.
“Securaa stood out as a holistic and value-for-money proposition,” said Anshuman Pund, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Suryoday Bank. “Its intuitive playbooks were easy to configure, and our management trainees have already begun developing their own. We’ve built use cases around IOC blocking, inbound/outbound traffic analysis, phishing detection, and ransomware prevention—cutting response times from 48–72 hours to under a minute.”
“AI-driven SOAR is the future of cyber defense. We’re proud to empower SOCs with automated intelligence.” – Rajesh Krishna, Founder & CEO, Securaa
Securaa’s platform is designed to automate repetitive tasks, enhance detection accuracy, and accelerate response across critical security scenarios. The integration enables seamless interoperability with Suryoday Bank’s existing cybersecurity tools while freeing up SOC teams to focus on high-value analysis and strategy.
“SOAR solutions optimize security operations by automating monotonous processes and streamlining threat intelligence, use cases, and incident management,” added Pund. “With Finesse as the system integrator and Securaa as the OEM, this collaboration brings not only technology but also strategic foresight into our cybersecurity program.”
“We thank Suryoday Bank for trusting Finesse Cyberhub as their transformation partner.” – Gaurav Gupta, AVP-Sales, Finesse
Rajesh Krishna, Founder and CEO of Securaa, emphasized the platform’s AI capabilities. “AI-driven SOAR is transforming how SOCs operate. At Securaa, we leverage artificial intelligence to automate detection and action workflows, from phishing alerts to ransomware mitigation. Our success at Suryoday Bank showcases how intuitive automation can shrink incident response times from days to minutes, ensuring a more resilient posture.”
According to Finesse, the integration represents a broader commitment to helping financial institutions modernize their security frameworks without compromising efficiency or budget. Gaurav Gupta, AVP-Sales at Finesse, remarked, “We’re grateful to Suryoday Bank for placing their trust in us. This project showcases the strength of our Cyberhub team in delivering next-generation cybersecurity solutions. We look forward to working closely with the bank to ensure continuous improvement and measurable outcomes.”
Key benefits reported by Suryoday Bank include faster threat detection and containment, streamlined incident response workflows, reduced alert fatigue, and improved security team productivity. The bank’s security operations center (SOC) is now equipped to respond proactively to threats, with automated decision-making driving significant time and cost efficiencies.
The deployment of Securaa is part of Suryoday Bank’s larger digital transformation vision, where operational efficiency and cybersecurity resilience go hand-in-hand. As the financial sector continues to face a surge in sophisticated cyber threats, initiatives like these set a benchmark for how organizations can leverage AI and automation to safeguard critical infrastructure.
With Finesse Cyberhub’s end-to-end implementation expertise and Securaa’s cutting-edge SOAR capabilities, Suryoday Bank has not only elevated its defense posture but also empowered its teams to adapt and respond to threats with unprecedented agility.
