Case Study: Major University Biological Sciences Division achieves 100% vulnerability response and faster remediation with NAVEX Lockpath

Major University Biological Sciences Division cuts vulnerability response time by 77% with NAVEX

The biological sciences division of a major university faced significant information security challenges due to its highly decentralized structure, with 32 departments each managing their own IT resources. This open culture and lack of centralized visibility created security gaps and made it difficult to comply with FISMA requirements. To address this, the division turned to NAVEX and its Lockpath platform for a solution.

By implementing NAVEX's Lockpath for vulnerability management, the division was able to automate and streamline its security processes. The solution provided a framework for prioritizing vulnerabilities, defining roles, and mapping remediation steps. This resulted in a 100% vulnerability response rate and decreased their response time by 77%, greatly enhancing their security posture.
