Case Study: Gerson Lehrman Group improves cyber asset visibility and security with Axonius

How GLG secures its global network of experts and their digital assets in a time of explosive growth

Gerson Lehrman Group (GLG), the world’s largest insight network with more than 2,000 employees and 1.2 million freelance experts, needed to better secure client-expert connections across a highly distributed and fast-changing environment. With a small security team, legacy spreadsheet-based asset tracking, and a growing attack surface, GLG turned to Axonius Cyber Asset Management to improve visibility, manage risk, and support collaboration across IT teams.

Axonius implemented a centralized asset management approach that connected GLG’s key tools and data sources, including AWS, SentinelOne, Rapid7, Jam Cyber, and Microsoft Entra, helping the team build dashboards, track migrations, and identify assets, software, ownership, and location more quickly. As a result, GLG increased identification of unapproved software by 20% and reduced time spent collecting and assessing asset information by 10%. With Axonius, GLG also accelerated its CrowdStrike rollout and gained a modern, modular foundation for future compliance and enforcement capabilities.
