Case Study: Ströer achieves visibility into 40,000 assets and reduces risk with CyCognito

Ströer gains visibility into 40,000+ assets with CyCognito

Ströer, a major German media company with a vast portfolio of over 100 subsidiaries, faced the challenge of mapping and securing its extensive external attack surface. Without a complete inventory of its digital assets, the company lacked visibility into potential vulnerabilities and hidden risks across its complex organization. After a failed manual project, Ströer turned to the CyCognito platform to gain comprehensive and continuous visibility.

By implementing CyCognito, Ströer gained immediate visibility into approximately 40,000 previously unknown or unmanaged assets. The solution enabled over 50 subsidiaries to independently monitor and remediate risks, which drastically reduced the company's external attack surface and improved its security posture. CyCognito helped Ströer avoid excessive penetration testing costs, shut down shadow IT, and provided the continuous monitoring needed to proactively manage its digital footprint.
