About Finstack Microfinance Bank and the challenge
Overview
Finstack Microfinance Bank needed to secure sensitive customer data hosted across multiple cloud environments. As the bank adopted hybrid-cloud systems to power financial services, it faced growing risks around data leakage, identity compromise, and misconfigurations.
The challenge
The client lacked full visibility into cloud activity, resulting in policy violations, insecure APIs, and misaligned compliance standards. A single misconfigured S3 bucket had already exposed a test database to the internet.
Our approach
- 1Assessed multi-cloud posture across AWS and Azure
- 2Applied zero-trust principles to identity and access control
- 3Deployed automated compliance benchmarks (CIS, PCI-DSS)
- 4Introduced cloud-native security controls using Microsoft Defender for Cloud
Our solution
How we addressed Finstack Microfinance Bank' challenges with innovative technology
We deployed a centralized cloud security management platform, implemented automated threat detection and policy enforcement, and remediated exposed resources across environments. All cloud workloads were hardened with role-based access controls and continuous configuration monitoring.
Key solution components
- Cloud workload protection
- Identity & access hardening
- Infrastructure-as-code (IaC) policy scanning
- DevSecOps pipeline integration
