Ströer Case Study on CyCognito Implementation

This case study details the implementation of the CyCognito platform by Ströer, a leading German media company, to enhance its security posture by gaining visibility into its external attack surface. The document outlines how Ströer, which operates over 100 subsidiaries, struggled to map its digital assets and faced challenges with previous vulnerability assessment attempts. After selecting CyCognito, the company successfully identified and remediated hidden vulnerabilities across approximately 40,000 assets. The case study highlights the platform's capabilities, including machine learning and continuous monitoring, which allowed Ströer to proactively manage its security risks. Key results included improved reporting for the Board of Directors, reduced remediation times, and a significant decrease in the number of vulnerabilities. The case study emphasizes the importance of maintaining awareness of internet-facing assets and the benefits of continuous security assessments to prevent potential breaches.
