Case Study: Cushman & Wakefield reduces digital footprint and strengthens cyber protection with CybelAngel

Cushman & Wakefield Reduces Digital Footprint Beyond Their Four Walls

Cushman & Wakefield, a global commercial real estate leader with 50,000+ employees across 400 offices in 70 countries, needed better visibility into an expanding external attack surface as it moved more operations to cloud and SaaS environments. Working with thousands of third parties and connected systems created exposure to shadow IT, vulnerable endpoints, and leaked data outside its perimeter, so the company turned to CybelAngel for digital risk protection.

CybelAngel provided comprehensive external threat monitoring and risk-based digital risk protection, helping Cushman & Wakefield detect exposed assets, lookalike domains, phishing risks, and third-party misconfigurations faster. In 12 months, CybelAngel helped reduce exposure to data breaches related to connected storage by 80% year over year, hinder 138 cybersquatting attempts, and secure dozens of exposed assets, including vulnerable RDPs.
