Case Study: Global Retailer Company achieves scalable application security and accelerated digital transformation with Synopsys

How a Global Retailer Scaled Its Application Security Program and Accelerated Digital Transformation

A global retailer that provides pharmacy-related services across more than seven countries with over 700 locations and $166 billion in annual revenue faced a growing tension between rapid digital transformation and secure application delivery. Its security teams were overwhelmed by unfiltered vulnerability data and struggled to scale AppSec while removing communication barriers between SecOps and DevOps, putting HIPAA compliance and mission-critical web applications at risk.

Partnering with Synopsys, the retailer deployed verified AppSec testing, continuous monitoring, risk-based vulnerability ranking, and 24/7 escalation and support to prioritize and remediate critical issues quickly. The program eliminated false positives, reduced cross-functional silos through regular enablement sessions, and established an enterprise-wide risk management and remediation workflow—resulting in stronger security posture, improved SecOps–DevOps collaboration, and protection of its business-critical applications to support growth.
