Case Study: UAE Islamic Bank achieves continuous cloud compliance on Azure with AccuKnox

UAE Islamic Bank detects 300+ vulnerabilities with AccuKnox

uae islamic bank needed continuous cloud compliance across its six Azure subscriptions for standards like Azure CIS, PCI, and SOC 2 Type II. Their challenges included a lack of unified visibility, no runtime security for their AKS production workloads, unscanned container images in ACR, and no agentless assessment capability. They turned to AccuKnox and its CNAPP platform to address these issues without disrupting their Sharia-compliant banking operations.

AccuKnox implemented a comprehensive solution including CSPM for continuous compliance monitoring, KSPM and CWPP for AKS runtime security, and integrated container image scanning with ACR. The results were significant, with over 300 unique vulnerabilities detected across their subscriptions with zero operational disruption. The bank achieved continuous compliance, closed its runtime security gap, eliminated image blind spots, and consolidated its security toolchain, all through a single AccuKnox Managed OnPrem deployment.
