Case Study: Thales achieves faster, more secure DevSecOps with GitLab

Using GitLab, Thales revolutionizes in-flight entertainment with personalized experiences

Thales, a global aerospace, defense, security, and digital identity technology leader, needed to replace an outdated, fragmented DevOps toolchain that kept development, security, and operations teams working in silos. The company turned to GitLab Ultimate to unify collaboration, improve software delivery speed, and better support compliance requirements across its more than 5,000 DevSecOps team members.

With GitLab, Thales centralized work on a single end-to-end DevSecOps platform, added CI/CD automation and integrated security scanning, and streamlined compliance processes. The results included faster collaboration, one extra day of development time per person each month, continuous improvements running eight times faster, and a new in-flight entertainment platform, FlytEDGE, that enables bi-weekly software updates on aircraft—about 20 times faster than traditional IFE systems.
