Case Study: Large Electric Power Utility Company Improves Asset Visibility, Accelerates Patching and Reduces Breach Risk with Balbix

Large US Electric Utility Company Improves Asset Visibility, Speeds Up Patching and Reduces Breach Risk with Balbix

Large Electric Power Utility Company, a Large US electric utility serving about 290,000 retail customers in the southern United States, struggled with a complex, heavily regulated IT environment that relied on multiple inventory and vulnerability tools. This fragmentation left the organization with poor asset visibility, high breach risk, slow patching and manual processes that made compliance and risk reduction difficult. The customer engaged Balbix and deployed the Balbix Security Cloud to address these gaps.

Balbix deployed sensors, cloud connectors (including an AWS connector) and the Balbix Brain analytics to deliver a real‑time, unified asset inventory and continuous risk analysis across 100+ attack vectors, with gamified workflows to standardize patching and prioritize CVEs. As a result, Balbix helped the utility discover 30% more assets, reduce MTTP by 59% and lower breach risk by 56%, while improving compliance tracking and speeding vulnerability remediation.
