Case Study: Berlitz Corporation achieves global external attack visibility and 86% reduction in critical alerts with CyCognito

Berlitz Gains Global External Attack Visibility with CyCognito

Berlitz Corporation, a global language education and cultural training provider operating in 70 countries, was struggling with a decentralized, complex external attack surface and largely manual vulnerability and risk management processes. To gain continuous visibility, automate ongoing scanning, and prioritize real business risks, Berlitz engaged CyCognito and its External Attack Surface Management platform with built‑in Exploit Intelligence.

CyCognito discovered unknown assets (including an orphan payment gateway), centralized and prioritized exposures, and automated remediation workflows (auto‑creating Jira tickets) so Berlitz could fix issues faster without large headcount increases. The engagement delivered measurable impact: $100K in cost savings over three years, continuous external‑attack‑surface visibility, improved operational efficiency, and an 86% reduction in critical alerts—from 140 down to about 20 over three years.
