Case Study: EmbedIT achieves continuous protection of sensitive financial data with Qualys Cloud Platform

EmbedIT Keeps Highly Sensitive Financial Information Safe from Cyber Attacks with Cloud-Based Continuous Security

EmbedIT (www.embedit.cz) is an 800‑employee IT services provider based in Prague that supports Home Credit Group and Air Bank across 11 countries, managing 20 data centres, 241,000+ points of sale and more than 200 million transactions daily. Faced with constantly evolving cyber threats and a time‑consuming, manual vulnerability process, EmbedIT needed a proactive, continuous security solution to protect clients’ highly sensitive financial and personal data.

EmbedIT implemented the Qualys Cloud Platform (Vulnerability Manager, Policy Compliance and Web Application Scanning) via a cloud subscription for fast integration and on‑demand/monthly scanning. The platform’s detailed, low‑false‑positive reports let teams prioritize and remediate risks quickly (for example, a scoped Shellshock scan was completed in one day), reduce vulnerabilities on new servers, automate coverage, and substantially strengthen protection of customer information and business systems.
