Case Study: Global Bank achieves rapid remediation of critical vulnerabilities and stronger application security with CAST

Global Bank Assesses and Improves Security on 3 Business Critical Applications

A global LATAM bank operating multiple mission‑critical applications faced repeated security attacks and wanted an alternative to its existing CI security tools (Checkmarx and Appscan). The assessment focused on security vulnerabilities, open‑source exposures and compliance with industry standards across three business‑critical JEE/C++ applications.

CAST audited one 15‑year production app and two greenfield microservices, uncovering numerous high‑severity findings (CISQ: 34 critical, OWASP‑2017: 42 critical, CWE‑Top25: 15 critical) and gaps in the manual flaw‑detection process. CAST delivered unbiased reports, trained development teams, and the bank implemented recommendations within one month—averting reputational damage and moving to expand CAST across the enterprise.
