In the Middle East, Oman Arab Bank is synonymous with trust, steadiness, and innovation. However, as cyber criminals gain ground on financial institutions and security protocols, OAB needed to keep ahead of the game with a proactive approach to PCI DSS certification. For certification, they needed to take control of the vast infrastructure to handle risks and prioritize their vulnerabilities, but they needed help figuring out where to begin.

PCI DSS is a set of security standards that must be met by all companies handling cardholder data. It comprises specific technical and high-level requirements for policies, procedures, software development, and IT architecture. Fulfilling these requirements can be challenging, and the process can become overly complicated when there are a large number of systems. Because of this, OAB knew their road to compliance wouldn't be easy.

OAB was not interested in a temporary fix or a fast pass to certification. They wanted an enduring plan and a reliable partner to give them a realistic view of their existing infrastructure, risk-based prioritization, and ongoing automatic monitoring. After researching their options, Nanitor's Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) platform matched their needs.

Oman Arab Bank partnered with Nanitor to take control of their cybersecurity and strengthen their systems. They needed clarity, direction, and a way to manage risks without feeling overwhelmed. Nanitor's CTEM platform became the game-changer, empowering them to bring everything together in one place and make complex processes more straightforward.

Nanitor provided the tools and confidence to build a secure future and strengthen the trust Oman Arab Bank earned from their clients.

“The best thing is having one place to see everything. You can check progress, spot problems, and make reporting easier, all while keeping track of your data.”

Within months of deployment, using Nanitor CTEM, they transformed their PCI DSS certification process and maintained their PCI DSS compliance, a milestone they had been working toward for years.
