Case Study: a largest clinical research organisation strengthens acquisition security with Edgescan

Solving Issues for Merger and Acquisition Utilizing EASM

A global clinical research organization faced a significant challenge in its strategy of acquiring smaller companies. The internal security team found it virtually impossible to perform pre-acquisition penetration testing on every new IT asset, making it difficult to assess risks before integrating them into the corporate network. They enlisted the services of Edgescan to address this issue.

Edgescan implemented its continuous security testing and attack surface management platform. The solution involved onboarding all assets of a target company before acquisition to scrutinize them for vulnerabilities while they were still outside the network perimeter. This provided the client with validated, risk-rated intelligence. As a result, Edgescan enabled the client to implement a standardized, automated, and streamlined process for accepting new assets, which saved time and money while maintaining a strong security posture.
