Case Study: Leading Financial Institution achieves a secure digital transformation with Fortra Vulnerability Management (Fortra)

Leading Financial Institution Uses Fortra Vulnerability Management to Manage Risk During Digital Transformation

This long-established U.S. financial institution (75+ years, $2B+ in assets, 200,000+ members) launched a three-year digital transformation to modernize its digital platform, automate infrastructure processes, and migrate legacy workstations to a virtual environment. Cybersecurity and compliance were central concerns: the organization needed to secure both the old and new infrastructures during the transition and ensure daily changes didn’t introduce new vulnerabilities while meeting oversight requirements.

The team leveraged Fortra Vulnerability Management—using Security GPA for simple, dynamic risk scoring, expert support, and a virtual RNA appliance—to run automated and on-demand scans (nightly on the new environment, regular scans on legacy systems), prioritize high‑risk remediation, and monitor vendor patching. The result was a secure migration with improved security posture and faster, smarter remediation (earning a top 2% Fortra VM ranking), reduced false positives, and continuous risk visibility for stakeholders.
