CyCognito Case Study on Scientific Games

This case study details the implementation of the CyCognito platform at Scientific Games, aimed at enhancing attack surface visibility and reducing security risks. Global CISO Kevin Kealy sought a solution to identify previously unknown risks and effectively report security status to the Board of Directors. The CyCognito platform was initially utilized under a previous corporate parent and was later adopted independently by Scientific Games. The results included improved visibility into the organization's attack surface, efficient management of security across business units, and streamlined processes that were previously manual. The platform enabled the identification of orphaned assets and shadow IT, allowing for better governance and risk elimination. Kealy emphasizes the platform's role in providing immediate visibility to unknown assets and facilitating effective communication of security metrics to leadership. Looking forward, the organization anticipates further enhancements in workflows through ongoing innovations from the CyCognito platform, particularly in automation to reduce human error in security processes.
