Case Study: Standard Bank of South Africa achieves 50–74% greater vulnerability management efficiency and up to 49% reduction in security exposures with BeyondTrust Retina

Standard Bank of South Africa - Customer Case Study

Standard Bank of South Africa Ltd implemented BeyondTrust’s Retina vulnerability management solution to reduce the risk of security breaches and shrink its attack surface while meeting PCI DSS and SOX requirements. The bank uses Retina frequently for agentless network, web application and virtual environment scanning, plus patch management, configuration compliance and regulatory reporting.

Retina gave the bank visibility across multiple infrastructure layers and operational context for vulnerabilities, enabling prioritized remediation, clearer risk reporting to IT, management and auditors, and more efficient patching. Chosen over McAfee and Qualys for its asset discovery/profiling and reporting/analytics, the solution improved vulnerability management efficiency by 50–74% and reduced security exposures by 25–49%, helping educate stakeholders about their vulnerability posture.
