Case Study: Schroders achieves automated vulnerability reduction and improved security posture with Panaseer

Schroders retained Panaseer in June 2016, to enable, empower and automate the understanding, monitoring and reduction of its device vulnerabilities across the business

Schroders, a global asset manager, retained Panaseer in June 2016 to enable, empower and automate the understanding, monitoring and reduction of device vulnerabilities across the business. Facing fragmented security and IT data and a need for risk-based visibility to support its security programme, Schroders adopted Panaseer’s Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) platform to collate, clean, enrich and unify disparate data into a single trusted view.

Panaseer automated ingestion and normalization of business, IT and security data and delivered dynamic dashboards and a campaign tool to drive remediation and track progress. As a result, Schroders replaced manual monthly reporting with automated reports to senior stakeholders, identified and reduced device vulnerabilities (including problematic device builds and end-of-life software), accelerated endpoint protection rollouts and focused patching — measurably improving security posture and cross‑functional collaboration with Panaseer.
