A Cogent Case Study
CSC Generation, a multi-brand retail operator, faced the challenge of scaling its security program across a rapidly growing portfolio of acquired companies without increasing its team size. Each new acquisition introduced different systems and tech debt, creating a manual and overwhelming process for vulnerability management. The lean security team struggled with asset reconciliation, prioritization, and providing leadership with timely reporting on critical risks. They turned to Cogent's AI-native vulnerability management platform to address these issues.
Cogent provided a solution by building a single, live inventory of assets and autonomously managing the entire vulnerability lifecycle. The platform automatically prioritizes findings, drafts remediation plans, and handles standard fixes, allowing the IT team to focus on exceptions. The results were significant: within three hours of onboarding, Cogent completed a full assessment for a new brand, and 100% of vulnerabilities are now managed autonomously. Executive reporting that once took hours now takes just five minutes, enabling CSC Generation to maintain security and compliance without adding headcount.
