Case Study: DigitalOcean simplifies acquisitions and saves nearly $1M with Eclypsium supply chain security

DigitalOcean Simplifies New Acquisitions with Supply Chain Security

DigitalOcean, a leading cloud services provider, needed to verify the integrity of the supply chain for the highly varied fleet of devices used by a newly acquired international startup. The challenge was to establish trust in this hardware without incurring the prohibitive cost and delays of replacing all the equipment. To address this, they turned to the supply chain security solution from Eclypsium.

Using Eclypsium, DigitalOcean was able to inventory and verify that all hardware, components, and firmware were authentic and free from threats and vulnerabilities. This allowed them to confidently use the existing devices, saving nearly $1 million in hardware costs, avoiding import tariffs, and completing the technology integration ahead of schedule. Following this success, DigitalOcean has integrated Eclypsium into its standard playbook for all future acquisitions.
