Case Study: Global Life Sciences Organization achieves greater supply chain resiliency and a reduced attack surface with SafeBreach

Improving Visibility of Supply Chain Security Controls to Achieve Greater Resiliency

The Global Life Sciences Organization engaged SafeBreach to gain better visibility into supply‑chain risk after industry attacks showed how third‑party software components can provide attackers access to internal infrastructure. Faced with the need to implement a zero‑trust architecture and enforce least‑privilege across a complex fourth‑to‑sixth‑party partner ecosystem, the customer adopted SafeBreach’s continuous security validation powered by its breach and attack simulation (BAS) platform to identify where supply‑chain controls and segmentation were failing.

SafeBreach executed continuous BAS tests—including lateral‑movement simulations, segmentation validation, perimeter firewall rule checks, and cloud/open‑source dependency validation—across the customer’s hybrid multi‑cloud environment. As a result, SafeBreach helped the Global Life Sciences Organization significantly decrease its attack surface, close gaps at the network perimeter (reducing unauthorized vendor access), and gain greater visibility into open‑source application risk, enabling prioritized, non‑disruptive mitigation and ongoing security validation.
