Case Study: Boeing strengthens cyber supply chain risk management with Exostar

How Exostar's Partner Information Manager helps Boeing manage its supply chain risk

Boeing, as a global aerospace leader with an extensive supply chain, faced significant challenges in managing cybersecurity risks across its vast network of suppliers. The complexity and global nature of its operations required a robust solution to ensure all partners met stringent security standards to protect sensitive data. To address this, Boeing partnered with Exostar to implement its cybersecurity risk management platform.

Exostar provided its Managed Access Gateway (MAG) for secure identity management and its Partner Information Manager (PIM) application to continuously monitor and assess supplier cybersecurity controls. This solution offered Boeing real-time visibility into supplier risk, streamlined the onboarding process, and established common industry standards for protection. The results included a more secure supply chain, reduced administrative burdens through a "do it once — share to many" model, and the ability to confidently and rapidly onboard new partners while ensuring they meet necessary assurance levels.
