Case Study: Smartex cuts time-to-mitigation from weeks to days with Ethiack

Smartex cuts time-to-mitigation from weeks to days with Ethiack

Smartex, an AI-powered textile inspection company handling sensitive data for large apparel brands, faced a significant security challenge. Their fast-paced engineering team had multiple environments and frequent deployments, which created a rapidly changing attack surface. With limited security resources, vulnerabilities could go undetected for weeks. They partnered with the vendor Ethiack to find a solution that could keep up with their velocity.

Ethiack's platform mapped Smartex's entire attack surface and brought it under continuous, autonomous testing. The solution validated exploitability the moment new code shipped, and Smartex supplemented this with on-demand pentests from Ethiack's ethical hackers. As a result, Smartex cut its time-to-mitigation from weeks down to days. This dramatically reduced risk, ensured compliance, and allowed the engineering team to maintain its release cadence with greater confidence.
