Efficient cybersecurity has become central to daily operations rather than just a strategic consideration. Bank of Khyber has taken a significant step in this direction by enhancing its digital security posture through a partnership with JBS and Ivanti. This collaboration enabled the bank to reduce risk exposure, improve regulatory compliance, and decrease patch management costs by 20%.
The initiative, driven by the increasing complexity of cyber threats and regulatory demands, focused on strengthening the bank’s overall IT infrastructure. By integrating Ivanti’s automated solutions into its ecosystem with the technical support of JBS, Bank of Khyber modernized how it manages and deploys software updates across its digital environment. The process, often time-consuming and resource-heavy in large institutions, was streamlined to improve efficiency without compromising security.
JBS, a key player in IT services and digital transformation in Pakistan, facilitated the deployment of Ivanti’s tools that are widely recognized for their unified endpoint management and security capabilities. The primary aim was to minimize manual patching cycles and eliminate the operational delays that frequently arise during software updates. With automated controls in place, Bank of Khyber reduced not only the time required to manage vulnerabilities but also achieved more consistent compliance with internal and regulatory standards.
This effort reflects the broader shift in Pakistan’s banking and financial sector toward adopting security-first strategies. As threats evolve and become more sophisticated, financial institutions are under increasing pressure to proactively manage risks while aligning with frameworks mandated by national regulators and international compliance benchmarks. For Bank of Khyber, this project serves as a measurable step in improving operational resilience and digital trust.
The collaboration has demonstrated that digital transformation in banking is no longer limited to front-end innovations or customer-facing upgrades. Infrastructure-level upgrades, particularly in security and compliance, are just as critical. The savings in patch management costs, combined with stronger risk mitigation, highlight the return on investment institutions can realize when cybersecurity is integrated into everyday operations.
By choosing Ivanti’s automation suite through JBS’s deployment expertise, Bank of Khyber ensures its IT operations can respond faster to emerging threats while remaining compliant with changing industry standards. The project sets an example for other financial institutions seeking cost-effective and scalable solutions for cybersecurity readiness.
