Case Study: Damen Shipyards Group achieves clearer attack surface visibility and faster remediation with Hadrian

Damen Shipyards Group - Customer Case Study

Damen Shipyards Group, a global shipbuilding company with a presence in over 120 countries, faced significant security challenges due to its ongoing digital transformation. As its digital attack surface expanded, its security team was overloaded with a high volume of alerts and false positives from previous tools, making it difficult to coordinate remediation across its many global operating companies. To address this, Damen turned to vendor Hadrian for its automated attack surface management solution.

Hadrian provided a solution that fully automated the mapping of Damen’s external-facing infrastructure, using machine learning to identify forgotten assets and shadow IT. The platform’s "Verified Risks" feature dramatically reduced time spent on false positives by only presenting exploitable vulnerabilities with detailed reproduction steps. This enabled Damen’s centralized security team to effectively monitor their entire attack surface and collaborate with local teams for faster remediation, measurably strengthening their security posture.
