Case Study: Leading Construction Services Company achieves measurable cyber resilience and increased efficiency with Cymulate

Civil Engineering Organization Goes Beyond Security Control Validation with Cymulate

Leading Construction Services Company, a global engineering, architecture, and construction services firm with about 15,000 employees and 160 offices, struggled with point-in-time penetration tests that left gaps in visibility and no way to prove remediation reduced risk. The organization had a seven-person SecOps team supported by an MSSP and was already using the Cymulate platform for continuous security validation, but a new SOC manager saw opportunities to expand Cymulate’s use across the security program.

Working with Cymulate’s customer success team, the company broadened platform use to include automated immediate-threat assessments, IOC mitigation (automatically uploading critical IOCs to the web gateway and EDR), attack surface management, and integration with its vulnerability management tool to prioritize exploitable flaws. As a result, Cymulate reduced manual effort, increased team efficiency, enabled immediate validation of remediation after a third‑party penetration test, and provided measurable proof of prevention and improved cyber resilience to stakeholders.
