Case Study: IGT cuts security alerts and remediations with Mend Prioritize

IGT cuts security alerts by over 70% with Mend

The global gaming company IGT faced a significant challenge in managing application security alerts across its vast development teams. With stringent international regulations and a reliance on open source components, their developers were overwhelmed by a high volume of security alerts, many of which were false positives, leading to fatigue and inefficient remediation efforts. They turned to the vendor Mend and its Mend Prioritize solution, which features Effective Usage Analysis technology, to help focus their efforts.

Mend's solution implemented Effective Usage Analysis, which filters alerts by showing whether vulnerable code is actually called by the application. This allowed IGT to cut over 70% of their security alerts and focus only on the most urgent vulnerabilities. The result was a reduction in time spent on remediations by nearly half, leading to better security levels, lower risk, and increased trust from developers.
