Case Study: Sodexo achieves global vulnerability visibility and automated remediation with Qualys

Securing a Major Global Enterprise with Automated Vulnerability Management

Sodexo, a global provider of quality‑of‑life services with over 420,000 employees across 34,000 sites in 80 countries, faced growing information‑risk from increasing digitization and a large, diverse IT footprint (about 13,000 IP addresses). The company needed standardized, centralized visibility of vulnerabilities across subsidiaries, cloud environments and business units to support a new global IT security governance model.

Sodexo deployed QualysGuard Vulnerability Management as a SaaS platform to automate discovery, assessment, prioritized remediation and consolidated reporting by group, business unit and country. The solution enabled daily scanning and continuous risk visibility, clearer prioritization of critical (level 4/5) fixes, integration into cloud development and PCI efforts, and an operational Security Operational Services team to drive remediation and reduce internal vulnerabilities.
