Case Study: Asklepios improves cyber risk exposure with CyCognito

Asklepios secures 170 facilities and 5,000 servers with CyCognito

Asklepios, a major healthcare provider, faced the challenge of protecting sensitive patient data and ensuring uninterrupted hospital operations amidst a complex IT landscape and stringent regulations. With limited resources, they struggled to gain a comprehensive view of their external attack surface and relied on lengthy, manual penetration testing. To address this, they partnered with cybersecurity vendor CyCognito to implement its external attack surface management platform.

By implementing CyCognito, Asklepios gained continuous, automated monitoring and visibility into its external IT assets. The solution provided a hacker's-eye view of their infrastructure, enabling efficient risk prioritization and streamlined remediation. This resulted in significant time savings, a reduced attack surface through the shutdown of unmanaged assets, and enhanced compliance with regulations like the BSI Act. CyCognito also provided comprehensive reporting capabilities to keep the board of directors informed on security improvements.
