Case Study: Equifax achieves real-time credit data delivery and stronger security with Google Cloud Platform

A new cloud foundation delivers business advantages for Equifax

Equifax, the global data, analytics, and technology company, needed to rework its business after a 2017 data breach and accelerate its move to the cloud to improve security and innovation. Working with Google Cloud Platform, Equifax set out to become a cloud-native credit reporting company while also modernizing how it delivers credit data and develops new products and services.

Google Cloud Platform helped Equifax implement a stronger zero-trust security architecture, machine learning–based threat detection, and a data “fabric” to unify legacy systems. The result was faster access to consumer credit data for financial institutions, quicker decision-making, and a shorter path to modern cloud applications; EPAM transformed a key mainframe application in under a year, helping Equifax speed innovation and expand credit access for millions of consumers.
