Case Study: North American Bank strengthens cloud compliance with Kyndryl

North American Bank secures 3,000 AWS servers with Kyndryl

A North American bank faced significant regulatory compliance challenges after an audit identified security risks and misconfigurations in its recently migrated Amazon Web Services (AWS) workloads. The auditor mandated a swift resolution, and the bank's board imposed rigorous new change management requirements. To meet this challenge, the bank partnered with Kyndryl, which provided expertise with the Orca Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) to gain visibility and adjust security controls.

Kyndryl reconfigured and optimized the bank's use of the Orca CNAPP on AWS, customizing essential security controls and enabling Identity and Access Management for its remote workforce. The solution remediated risks across all cloud workloads and integrated ServiceNow to automate the generation and assignment of tickets for policy violations. The results were immediate, with the solution delivering a full asset inventory and measuring the entire environment against financial regulations within hours of going live, ensuring compliance with SOX, PCI DSS, FFIEC, and ISO 27001 standards.
