Case Study: Fortune 500 Financial Services Firm achieves 80% reduction in high‑risk crown‑jewel vulnerabilities and 30% overall vulnerability reduction with Brinqa

Fortune 500 Financial Services Firm - Customer Case Study

The Fortune 500 Financial Services Firm — a global investment management company with 100,000+ network assets and 1,000+ applications — faced fragmented asset data across legacy systems, an inconsistently managed ServiceNow CMDB, a pending scanner migration (from MVM to Rapid7 Nexpose), and undefined remediation ownership and SLAs. To address these challenges they engaged Brinqa and its Vulnerability Risk Service to bring business context and prioritization to their vulnerability program.

Brinqa deployed connectors and analytics to normalize and consolidate asset and scanner data, establish asset sensitivity and risk models, automate ticket creation and ServiceNow ITSM integration, and deliver targeted reporting. As a result, within one month the CMDB became the authoritative asset source; over six months high‑risk vulnerabilities on crown‑jewel assets dropped by more than 80% and overall vulnerability volume fell 30%; ticket volume fell 40%; the Nexpose migration was completed with no loss of program effectiveness; and Brinqa automation reclaimed resources previously consumed by manual analytics.
