Why that matters: • Cybersecurity is a big deal for banks — stronger defenses can mean lower operational risk and higher investor confidence.
• Hiring top security talent suggests Western Alliance is serious about tech and risk management — a positive for long-term stability.

Past recognitions — the bank was named a Best SME Bank in the Southwest by Global Finance, showing strength in serving business customers.
