Case Study: Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport strengthens critical infrastructure security with Picus Security

Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport boosts security score with Picus through continuous validation

Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, a major European critical infrastructure hub, faced the challenge of managing a complex IT inventory where daily security scans produced thousands of findings. Their cybersecurity team needed to move beyond expert assessment to precisely distinguish genuinely exploitable risks from theoretical ones and consolidate data from multiple security tools to enable faster, more unified decisions. They partnered with Picus Security to implement its Security Control Validation and Exposure Validation products.

Picus provided a solution by integrating data from various security tools onto a single platform, enabling continuous validation and contextual prioritization of risks. This allowed the team to focus remediation efforts on the most critical and exploitable vulnerabilities. The results included significantly faster response times, a tangible improvement in their security score after each remediation, and a major boost in team motivation, all of which reinforced a proactive, evidence-based security culture.
