At Kyndryl, customers are at the heart of everything that we do; and we are committed to continue helping them keep their mission-critical systems secure.”

Kyndryl’s six core practices include security and resilience. It offers expertise, services, and technologies to assist businesses in keeping their critical systems secure, available, reliable, and recoverable – regardless of size or complexity.

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.
