Case Study: Mandiant helps a global manufacturer cut 256,000 vulnerabilities down to 7 critical risks with Nucleus Security

How Mandiant helped a global enterprise manufacturer shift focus from 250k+ vulnerabilities to the 7 that matter most using Nucleus

Mandiant, a Google Cloud company, worked with a U.S.-based global manufacturing company with 3,500 assets and a small security team that had no dedicated vulnerability management function. The customer was struggling with inconsistent scanning, no formal process or standards, and an overwhelming volume of vulnerabilities—tens of thousands each week—managed mostly through manual CSV exports and reactive firefighting.

Using Nucleus Security’s unified vulnerability management platform alongside Mandiant Threat Intelligence and Mandiant Consulting, the company rapidly gained visibility and risk-based prioritization across its environment. Nucleus helped reduce 256,000 discovered vulnerabilities to just 7 confirmed critical threats to focus on first, while also enabling automated ticketing, reporting, and remediation workflows. According to the case study, the organization moved from no formal processes to intelligence-led prioritization within 1–2 weeks and fully onboarded Nucleus in about 40 man-hours.
