Case Study: Major Airline Company achieves enhanced protection for passengers and planes against cyber threats with SecurityScorecard

SecurityScorecard Helps Major Airline Protect Passengers and Planes from Cyber Threats

Major Airline Company, a U.S.-based carrier that moves more than 35 million passengers to 100+ cities annually, faced a sprawling attack surface and thousands of third‑party systems that threatened passenger data and flight operations. To get ahead of mission‑critical vulnerabilities and manage third‑party risk, the airline adopted SecurityScorecard Ratings to discover, track, and prioritize exposures across its ecosystem.

SecurityScorecard provided continuous external attack‑surface visibility, prioritized remediation actions, and scored vendors to support due diligence and procurement decisions, while giving executives a single KPI to monitor cyber risk. As a result, the airline now identifies and fixes vulnerabilities faster, benchmarks security against peer carriers, holds more productive cyber‑insurance and vendor conversations, and uses its SecurityScorecard score regularly (several times a week) to guide risk and insurance decisions.
