U.S. Department of Energy boosts cybersecurity with Flexera, reducing research time by 60%

The U.S. Department of Energy faced the challenge of securing its critical infrastructure from cyberattacks by identifying outdated software and hardware. Its traditional IT asset management processes were infeasible and manual, creating significant security vulnerabilities. To combat this, the department worked with vendor Flexera, utilizing its Data Platform solutions, Technopedia and Normalize.

Flexera's solution aggregated and normalized IT asset data from across the agency into a single, accurate view. This provided the Department of Energy with real-time, fact-based data, enabling them to proactively identify end-of-life assets and prioritize security risks. The results included a transparent process, increased accountability, and a significantly enhanced cybersecurity program, with Flexera noting a 60% average reduction in time spent researching and validating data.
