Case Study: Leading Digital Publishing Conglomerate Company achieves actionable attack-surface visibility and stronger subsidiary trust with CyCognito

Leading Digital Publishing Conglomerate Company - Customer Case Study

Leading Digital Publishing Conglomerate Company, a publisher operating in more than 40 countries with over 15,000 employees, struggled to maintain a realistic, actionable view of security across 15+ subsidiaries and joint ventures. After a security ratings service produced inaccurate and irrelevant findings that frustrated subsidiary teams, the CISO adopted the CyCognito platform to map the organization’s external attack surface and prioritize real risks.

CyCognito’s platform discovered previously unknown externally accessible assets (for example, an intranet server in a joint venture), delivered direct visibility into subsidiary assets, and enabled faster remediation and clearer reporting to the board. As a result, CyCognito helped the company reduce time spent on irrelevant findings, strengthen trust and cooperation between headquarters and subsidiaries, provide corporate-funded access for subsidiary teams, and better avoid major incidents.
