Case Study: Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation achieves improved performance and security with AppSense

Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation establishes secure performance with AppSense software

Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC), a global bank with over 21,000 employees, delivers core banking applications to about 1,600 users via a Citrix thin‑client environment. That server‑based model created chronic performance and stability issues from resource‑hungry applications and posed security and compliance risks from unauthorized code, while auditors required clear reporting on controls and incidents.

SMBC deployed AppSense Performance Manager and AppSense Application Manager across 48 servers, testing policies in silent mode before roll‑out. The solution improved server utilization and overall performance, stopped unauthorized application execution, increased stability, reduced IT support costs, and provided robust auditing and reporting to support compliance and secure delivery of mission‑critical applications.
