Gulf Bank is one of Kuwait’s leading financial institutions, recognized for delivering secure and reliable banking services across a large customer base. As digital adoption accelerated, the bank needed a stronger, more resilient technology foundation to support mission-critical workloads and ensure uninterrupted service delivery.
