Case Study: SA Power Networks improves security control validation and reduces costs with AttackIQ

SA Power Networks reduces log retention costs by 10% with AttackIQ

SA Power Networks, an Australian energy company and critical infrastructure provider, faced the challenge of moving from a reactive security posture to a proactive, threat-informed defense. Their legacy approach relied on limited ad hoc penetration tests and reactive log checks, which provided insufficient validation that their security controls could protect against advanced threats. To address this, they partnered with AttackIQ to implement its Security Optimization Platform and Vanguard service for continuous security control validation.

By deploying AttackIQ's solution, SA Power Networks automated its testing against the MITRE ATT&CK framework, replacing expensive penetration tests with continuous assessment. The results included significant annual cost savings, a 10% reduction in log retention costs, and the ability to prioritize security efforts based on actual control gaps. AttackIQ provided the evidence needed to confidently report on their security posture and ensure their defenses were working as intended.
