Landolt Securities, Inc. Appoints Entreda As Cybersecurity Software Supplier

Entreda's Platform To Provide Third-Party Vendor Risk Management and Monitoring Services At Midwestern Broker Dealer/Investment Advisory Firm

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and ANTIOCH, Ill. , May 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Entreda, an award-winning developer of integrated cybersecurity compliance software and solutions for the wealth management and insurance industries, today announced that Illinois-based Landolt Securities, Inc. has elected Entreda to provide their 50 advisors and employees with network protection under Entreda's industry-leading cybersecurity platform, Unify.

Landolt Securities' decision to partner with Entreda is the latest confirmation that the acclaimed vendor of cybersecurity solutions is increasingly being sought after by investment advisory firms and independent broker-dealers for services that include auto-remediations for end-point devices, data leakage monitoring, and critical security updates. Entreda has agreed to supply Landolt Securities with continuous, 24x7 network monitoring through its Unify Concierge 360 Service, which provides advisors and firms assistance on the spectrum of their automated cybersecurity feature, and has received the highest ratings from other wealth management firms.

Sid Yenamandra, CEO and founder of Entreda, a Smarsh company, said, "Financial advisors cannot map out the best investment strategies for their clients or help them plan for retirement without a cybersecurity solution that addresses and remediates common threats. Network security basics are critical to guaranteeing safe access to advisor-facing and client-facing technology, and Entreda's services that include weekly reports and simulated phishing exercises ensure that firms are following SEC and FINRA guidelines, while ensuring no user is left at the mercy of cyberattacks."

Landolt Securities, founded 32 years ago, oversees a network of independent brokers across the country. Landolt Securities chose Entreda because the solutions provider already works with large networks of broker-dealers, including Advisor Group and LPL Financial. Entreda's third-party vendor risk management capabilities that can be used to monitor independent contractors, including sales representatives, also was a key selection criterion for the firm.

Tyler Reinhard, Chief Operating Officer at Landolt Securities, said, "For our clients across the network, having a trusted financial advisor in their corner means a relationship that is shielded from all-too common problems such as spear phishing, ransomware, malware or DDoS attacks. Landolt Securities is confident that Entreda's cyber platform Unify, with its industry-leading auto-remediation and real-time network vulnerability scanning, will give our advisors and brokers the peace of mind they need as they grow their practice and build trust with the clients they serve."
