Case Study: CAE achieves rapid Log4j remediation with Mend

CAE identifies Log4j vulnerabilities in less than one hour with Mend

CAE, a high-technology company specializing in digital immersion solutions, became concerned about the security liabilities of its increasing use of open source software. An initial proof of concept with the free Mend Bolt tool demonstrated significant value, leading the company to formally evaluate and adopt Mend's Teams offering to gain visibility and control over its open source components.

Using Mend to continuously scan its development pipeline, CAE was able to quickly identify and remediate the critical Log4j vulnerability across all projects. Mend provided a complete inventory of affected libraries within an hour, a process that would have taken weeks manually. This rapid response significantly reduced the company's exposure. Furthermore, Mend provides ongoing value by allowing CAE to prioritize vulnerabilities and generate reports that demonstrate a measurable decrease in security risk over time.
