In addition, the company has over 3,000 patents in risk-reduction areas such as multicloud management, orchestration, integrated monitoring, and issue triage and resolution.

Customers can also take advantage of Kyndryl’s new recovery retainer service, which is designed to provide on-demand qualified experts in cyber recovery, assisting them in proactively improving cyber recovery preparedness, and providing support to recover from cybersecurity events.
