Case Study: Hypothekarbank Lenzburg achieves container security compliance with Anchore

How Switzerland-based mortgage bank Hypothekarbank Lenzburg (HBL) selected Anchore to deliver security solutions to support seamless toolchain integration and painless DevSecOps workflows

Hypothekarbank Lenzburg (HBL), a Swiss bank known for its innovative open banking and containerized workloads on Red Hat OpenShift, needed a better way to secure its rapidly growing container environment. Its traditional vulnerability management and asset scanning tools couldn’t keep up with containers, and HBL also needed to enforce compliance rules such as approved base images and preventing root users. To address this challenge, HBL evaluated several security suites before choosing Anchore for focused container vulnerability management and policy enforcement.

Anchore provided HBL with container scanning, policy controls, LDAP integration, and an enterprise UI that fit into the bank’s DevSecOps workflow. HBL deployed Anchore both for ad hoc developer scans and as strict pass/fail gating in CI/CD pipelines, giving teams faster feedback and helping ensure compliance with FINMA requirements. With Anchore, HBL gained visibility into container vulnerabilities and security risks, reduced blind spots, and established a stronger foundation for ongoing container security and best practice.
