Case Study: Lineas achieves risk-based vulnerability management with Flashpoint VulnDB

Lineas Enables Effective Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) with VulnDB®

Lineas, a major European rail freight operator, faced the challenge of securing its critical systems with limited resources. Their CISO, Christophe Rome, needed a more comprehensive solution than "checkbox security" to prioritize and manage vulnerabilities effectively, moving towards a true risk-based approach. They turned to the vendor Flashpoint and their product VulnDB for a solution.

By implementing Flashpoint's VulnDB, Lineas gained a single source of truth for vulnerability intelligence. The service provided extensive data, including over 95,000 vulnerabilities not found in public sources, which enabled the team to quickly prioritize and remediate risks. This resulted in an efficient, risk-based vulnerability management process, giving Lineas confidence in their security decisions and freeing them to focus on new challenges.
