Case Study: CSC Generation achieves autonomous vulnerability management with Cogent

How a multi-brand retail operator scaled its security program across a growing portfolio of acquisitions without adding headcount

CSC Generation, a multi-brand retail operator, faced the significant challenge of managing cybersecurity vulnerabilities across its rapidly growing portfolio of acquired companies. With a lean security team, the process of reconciling assets, prioritizing risks, and tracking remediation manually was unsustainable and could not scale with their acquisition pace. They turned to Cogent's AI-native vulnerability management platform to address this.

By implementing Cogent, CSC automated the entire vulnerability management lifecycle. The solution provided a unified, real-time inventory of assets, autonomously prioritized risks, and drove remediation through automated playbooks. The results were immediate, with a full vulnerability assessment completed in just three hours for a new brand. The company achieved 100% autonomous vulnerability management, eliminated the need for additional security headcount, and reduced executive reporting from hours to just five minutes.
