Case Study: Crédit Agricole International Banking Company achieves fast, secure cross-platform data discovery and protection with PKWARE

Crédit Agricole International Banking Company - Customer Case Study

Crédit Agricole International Banking Company, a large French banking group, needed to modernize its file exchange processes to securely send data to subsidiaries worldwide outside its private encrypted network and across multiple platforms. The bank had historically used PKWARE’s PKZIP as its standard compression solution but required a broader, cross-platform data protection approach to locate and secure sensitive information as data exchange needs evolved.

PKWARE implemented its PK Protect suite—including PK Discovery to scan 250 sandbox connections for sensitive data—and deployed PK Encrypt across platforms, enabling immediate, accurate scanning and centralized management with a single solution. As a result, Crédit Agricole now operates with unlimited platform connections (including Linux), has adopted PK Encrypt on multiple platforms, and is one of the largest users of PK Encrypt with more than 100,000 MIPS, delivering faster, more confident data protection across the organization.
