Case Study: Temenos achieves automated open-source security and license compliance for 500M banking customers with Mend

Mend Helps Temenos Serve 500 Million Customers’ Daily Banking Needs

Temenos, a Geneva-based leader in banking software that supports daily transactions for more than 500 million customers, relied heavily on open source to speed development but struggled to control license use and security risk. Manual whitelist/blacklist checks and no automated way to map new CVEs to their codebase made compliance and vulnerability management slow, error-prone, and labor intensive across a large, distributed development organization.

Mend gave Temenos an automated, accurate inventory and real-time policy enforcement that integrated into their build process in under 90 minutes, automatically accepting or rejecting components and surfacing license and CVE alerts. The solution cut manual work, ensured license compliance, sped vulnerability response with timely patching information, and let Temenos confidently leverage open source while reducing operational and security risk.
