Regional Bank Implements Zero Trust Across 400 Branches — 60% Fewer Security Incidents
When a regional bank's legacy perimeter security model proved unable to keep pace with modern threats — from credential-based attacks to insider risks — the institution needed a security transformation that balanced rigorous protection with operational continuity across hundreds of locations. Cendien designed and rolled out a Zero Trust Architecture grounded in identity-first access, continuous verification, and micro-segmentation.
How Cendien helped an $18B regional bank replace perimeter-based security with a full Zero Trust Architecture across 400 branch locations and 5,000 employees — achieving 60% fewer security incidents and passing every regulatory audit since deployment.
