CASE STUDY support also comes into play – the solution is so accurate that we didn ’ t find ourselves in need of this service very often , but whenever we needed support or advice , it has been flawless . Every time my team asked for their help , Edgescan ' s analysts would instantly investigate the issue and explain it in detail .
Is there any other benefit that you have been able to observe since you brought Edgescan on board ?
I see two main benefits ; the first one is the support with our commitment to sustainability , something that Archroma is incredibly serious about . We know that the future of our planet is in our hands and we are committed to maintain our environmental impact at the absolute minimum .
Our choice of cybersecurity vendors might seem irrelevant in this context , but Edgescan ’ s solution has a hidden benefit in terms of reducing emissions via its IP scanning function .
helped us to stay one step ahead . Time saving has been the best observable outcome since we brought the Edgescan ’ s SaaS on board .
As part of the ROI , we have also been free of major cybersecurity impacts due to proactive management and mitigation of vulnerabilities across our infrastructure .
Are you planning to expand your adoption of Edgescan solutions in the future ?
‘ Edgescan Penetration testing ’ is something that we are looking into . At this point , we definitely see the value of going with a vendor that is already familiar with our infrastructure and has helped us during the last years . Thus , we ’ ll evaluate it through our regular internal sourcing procedure against other alternatives in the near future .
The OT side of our business is also an area we are looking to further enhance capabilities . We currently have strong protections in place , but as we approach into advanced Internet of Things ( IoT ) solutions , automations and other digitalisation initiatives , we ’ ll be looking at Edgescan as a possibility to strengthen particularly the OT area vulnerability management .
Trusting your provider is key
Set up to alert the customer whenever a machine is turned on , this allows us to keep track of the IT infrastructure – both from a security and a sustainability perspective – by enabling us to see which assets are active and when , and consequently assessing whether they should be or not .
The second benefit I see is the easy and straightforward reporting .
Reporting can be time-consuming , but we found that the Edgescan platform provides the team with all the metrics they need for easy and seamless reporting . This is also a time-saver , which is particularly relevant as the skills gap in cybersecurity makes it ever so important to optimise how an IT security function ’ s time is used . This allows my team to focus on higher level security tasks , as reporting really is a no-brainer .
“ Our partnership with Archroma has been a great success . Edgescan has assisted it with improving its security posture on a continuous basis ,” said Eoin Keary , CEO and Founder of Edgescan .
“ By helping organisations such as Archroma address ongoing cybersecurity issues and vulnerability identification , they enjoy a lower attack surface , the ability to measure improvement and monitor their security posture on an ongoing basis .
The key here , I think , is trust . You can ’ t buy trust and the fact that my security team already trusts Edgescan ’ s platform , its intelligence and expertise , is a very important factor for me . This is where customer
“ The commitment we see from Archroma when it comes to securing its assets is truly impressive and we look forward to continue working with it in the future ,” said Keary . p
