Case Study: Large Enterprise Aerospace & Defense Company achieves 50–74% improved vulnerability management efficiency and 10–24% reduction in security exposures with BeyondTrust Retina

Large Enterprise Aerospace & Defense Company

A large enterprise aerospace and defense company implemented BeyondTrust’s Retina vulnerability management to reduce the risk of security breaches, shrink its attack surface, meet compliance (ISO-27002, ITIL, SOX), tighten operational practices, and integrate with privilege management. The organization runs agentless, agent-based and virtual environment scans frequently and uses configuration compliance and regulatory reporting modules to support those goals.

Retina delivered asset discovery and profiling, remote agentless scanning, risk-in-context analysis, remediation guidance and robust reporting/analytics, enabling the team to identify previously unknown assets, prioritize fixes, and patch more efficiently. After evaluating Rapid7 and Tenable, the company saw vulnerability management efficiency improve by 50–74% and security exposures fall by 10–24%, with analytics helping a lean IT staff better measure and reduce risk.
