Case Study: An oil and gas company reduces remediation time from weeks to hours with Skybox Security

Oil and gas company reduced remediation time from weeks to hours

A major oil and gas company, one of the world's largest petroleum refiners, faced significant challenges in managing vulnerabilities across its large and complex global network. Its security team struggled with a disruptive and costly scanning process that caused network outages, generated a 20% false positive rate, and resulted in unacceptably long remediation timelines that created substantial corporate risk. The company turned to Skybox Security for a solution.

Skybox Security implemented its Skybox Vulnerability Control solution, which provided continuous, passive vulnerability assessment without disrupting network operations. This allowed for daily reporting and accurate prioritization of threats across the entire attack surface. As a result, the company drastically reduced its mean time to remediation (MTTR) from weeks to just hours, significantly lowered its false positive rate, and cut costs by reducing the need for frequent disruptive scans.
