ThreatAdvice
ThreatAdvice was founded in 2016 as a consulting firm to provide cybersecurity education and training to employers. Jason Asbury was president of that division. Jennifer Skjellum, former president of TechBirmingham, headed the company's Chattanooga, Tennessee-based blockchain and crypto innovation department.
In 2016 ThreatAdvice began offering its clients discounted subscriptions to LifeLock's credit monitoring and identity protection insurance programs.
In 2018 the company contracted with the State of Alabama and with Hoover City Schools to conduct employee training programs. Late that year ThreatAdvice hired former confidence man and anti-fraud consultant Frank Abagnale to serve as its spokesperson.
With the company's reorganization in 2020, ThreatAdvice continued as a NXTSoft platform under Asbury's leadership. In 2021 ThreatAdvice was spun off into a separate company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Brasfield remained CEO of both companies.
BankerAdvice
BankerAdvice is the financial security division of NXTSoft.
Through the acquisition of Springhouse Digital in May 2018, BankerAdvice added Starr Largin and Gary Foster to its executive staff. The company's "Springhouse Compliance" division hosts the "FiHub" communications platform for banking professionals, "AuditBridge" risk assessment software, and IntelliSense cycersecurity threat assessment.
In December 2018 the firm acquired FIMAC Solutions LLC of Denver, Colorado, publisher of FIMACMountain analytical and reporting software. FIMAC president John Anton became president of the division.
With NXTSoft's reorganization in 2020, BankerAdvice was rebranded as the Omni platform with Rich Longo as its head. The Integrated Legacy Solution product line was renamed OmniData, joined to the Omni Connect and OmniLytics products from CMCC.
