Case Study: SBV Services rapidly detects and mitigates security threats with Qualys Cloud Platform

Rapidly Detecting and Addressing Security Threats to Mitigate Risk

SBV Services is a national cash‑handling and logistics provider in South Africa that processes large volumes of cash and stores sensitive financial and logistical data. Facing growing internal and external security risks — including thousands of personal mobile devices on the network and an expanding attack surface as systems opened to partners — the company needed a scalable way to identify and close vulnerabilities across its IT estate.

SBV implemented the Qualys Cloud Platform SaaS vulnerability‑management solution to automate scans, centralize vulnerability data and deliver layered reporting to IT and risk teams. The platform enabled rapid detection and remediation (demonstrated during Heartbleed), regular scans of endpoints and personal devices, faster governance and clearer risk visibility, materially improving the company’s ability to mitigate security threats.
