Case Study: Large North American Credit Union boosts threat detection and prevention with Cymulate

Credit Union Boosts Threat Prevention & Detection with Cymulate

A large North American credit union with more than 1,500 employees needed a better way to prove its cybersecurity defenses were actually working. With manual testing and periodic assessments consuming analyst time and providing only point-in-time visibility, the organization turned to Cymulate to address limited visibility into control effectiveness, difficulty prioritizing vulnerabilities, and growing pressure from regulators and executives to demonstrate measurable security posture.

Using Cymulate’s exposure validation platform, the credit union shifted to continuous, production-safe security testing across headquarters and remote branches. Cymulate helped the team increase threat detection by 50% and threat prevention by 20%, improve vulnerability prioritization by 40%, assess 4X more environments than manual testing, save 20+ hours per month and 40 hours per quarter, and reduce annual compliance testing costs by $20,000.
