Case Study: IGT slashes open-source vulnerability alerts by 70% and halves remediation time with Mend

Automatically find and fix open source vulnerabilities using Mend in your own environment

IGT, a global leader in gaming with more than 12,000 employees and over 2,000 developers spread across offices worldwide, must meet stringent international regulations and certifications for data security while rapidly delivering applications for lotteries and gaming. As IGT increased its reliance on open source components, its security team was inundated with vulnerability alerts and false positives, making it difficult to prioritize which issues actually threatened their products and consuming significant developer time.

By adopting Mend’s tools and its Effective Usage Analysis, IGT automatically filters out irrelevant alerts by determining whether vulnerable code is actually used in the product, cutting more than 70% of alerts and halving remediation effort. The result: faster, more focused fixes, reduced developer fatigue, and increased trust in the security process, enabling IGT to maintain high security standards without slowing development.
