Exela Pharma Sciences Security Management Case Study

This case study examines how Exela Pharma Sciences implemented Reco to enhance its security management in light of its expanding operations. The document outlines the challenges faced by Exela, including the lack of visibility and control over its SaaS applications, which posed significant risks due to the sensitive nature of the data managed. The first step involved a discovery process where Reco enabled Exela to identify previously unrecognized risks, such as overpermissioned roles and stale accounts across various platforms. Following this, structured mitigation efforts were detailed, showcasing how intelligence from Reco was used to improve security posture. The study notes specific measures taken, including the enforcement of multi-factor authentication and the removal of risky applications. The subsequent outcomes highlighted increased efficacy in security awareness training for employees and a reduction in potential breaches by remediating long-standing misconfigurations. The use of Reco allowed Exela to gain necessary visibility and control to safeguard its operations effectively.
