Case Study: Globeleq achieves continuous, independent security validation with Cymulate

Cymulate Empowers Globeleq with In-house Security & Threat Validation

Globeleq, an independent power company operating across Africa with a small cybersecurity team based in South Africa, struggled with time-consuming, outsourced penetration tests that provided only point-in-time visibility, made emergent threat evaluation slow, and produced inconsistent metrics across locations. After evaluating automated security validation options, Globeleq selected Cymulate — deploying Cymulate’s breach and attack simulation, immediate threat intelligence, and automated red teaming capabilities — to give the team a tool it could operate independently and that delivered better reporting and dashboards.

Cymulate implemented continuous, independent security validation across Globeleq’s environments, enabling near real-time assessments of emergent threats, lateral-movement testing (Hopper), and standardized, board-ready metrics integrated with existing security tools. As a result, Globeleq moved from six-month manual pen tests to on-demand, automated assessments that the small team can run at the click of a button, improving productivity, sustaining continuous visibility, and providing consistent, measurable security posture metrics for management and the board.
