Case Study: GP Strategies achieves rapid elimination of 3rd-party software vulnerabilities with Flexera (Secunia CSI)

GP Strategies Corporation Employs the Secunia Corporate Software Inspector (CSI) to Eliminate 3rd Party Software Vulnerabilities

GP Strategies Corporation, a global B2B provider of training, e-learning and engineering services, needed to upgrade IT security across 2,400 workstations to better protect clients in high-security industries. Their Microsoft SCCM inventory gave only basic application lists and no security context, leaving administrators without an efficient way to identify and prioritize 3rd‑party vulnerabilities (e.g., Java, Acrobat) or meet internal 30‑day patching policies.

GP Strategies implemented Secunia’s Corporate Software Inspector (CSI) (now part of Flexera), which integrated seamlessly with SCCM and provided a comprehensive 3rd‑party vulnerability database, reporting and patch automation. The result: one‑click discovery and criticality assessment, average patch time of ~5 minutes per application, monthly patch operations reduced to about 30 minutes, improved visibility and compliance, faster remediation of legacy apps, and significant IT time savings supported by Secunia’s support resources.
