Case Study: US Fortune 100 Financial Services Company achieves PCI compliance and remediates Java vulnerabilities with Waratek

US Fortune 100 Financial Services Company - Customer Case Study

US Fortune 100 Financial Services Company was struggling with legacy Java and repeated PCI compliance failures due to vulnerabilities in an old Java 6 application. Waratek’s virtualization technology was used to address the issue, with Qualys serving as the PCI audit tool during testing.

Waratek created a reference environment matching the customer’s Java and Tomcat setup, then containerized the legacy Java 6 application inside a secure Java 8 host without changing any code. As a result, all 29 Java 6u19 vulnerabilities identified by Qualys were remediated, the environment became fully compliant, performance improved by nearly 7% in normal operation, and attack-mode overhead rose by less than 2.5%.
