Case Study: Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) achieves continuous automated vulnerability scanning and faster remediation with Outpost24 (Outscan & AppSec)

Solving the security challenge of digital transformation for one of the most prestigious German-Swiss media groups

NZZ, one of Europe’s oldest and most respected media groups (187,000+ subscribers, ~€350M revenue), faced a rapid digital transformation that expanded its external attack surface and left its small security team overwhelmed by high release cadence and frequent bot/malware targeting. After a vendor selection process they engaged Outpost24, deploying Outscan and AppSec SaaS to replace slow, manual testing with an automated vulnerability-management approach.

Outpost24 implemented continuous, automated scanning, business‑centric reporting and workflow integration (with Outpost24 support and engineers) over a three‑year rollout, enabling early detection and triage of critical issues and faster remediation. The solution reduced time spent on manual analysis, improved cross‑team collaboration with tailored PDF/CSV reports, and strengthened protection for NZZ’s digital services—helping the organisation secure its 187,000+ subscriber base and support its growth targets.
