Case Study: ING Bank Singapore reduces IT security risk and accelerates vulnerability remediation with QualysGuard (Qualys)

Fighting IT Security Risk on All Fronts

ING Bank Singapore, a unit of ING Groep and a major financial services firm, faced the challenge of reducing IT security and regulatory risk across more than 1,000 systems while operating with a compact security team. With threats shifting from worms to spyware, keystroke loggers and attacks exploiting misconfigurations and unpatched systems—even during new acquisitions—ING needed a reliable, scalable way to identify vulnerabilities, verify patches, and improve overall security posture.

ING adopted QualysGuard’s SaaS vulnerability and compliance platform to run automated, on-demand scans and produce precise, actionable reports. The solution removed the need to maintain scanning infrastructure, sped remediation and patch verification across the estate, and freed the team to strengthen awareness, configuration management and other risk controls—resulting in faster vulnerability resolution and a stronger, more manageable security program.
