Case Study: Vallourec improves Active Directory visibility and real-time misconfiguration detection with Tenable Identity Exposure

Vallourec cuts Active Directory misconfiguration fixes from 5 weeks to 5 minutes with Tenable Networks

Vallourec, a multinational industrial manufacturer in the oil and gas sector, faced security challenges in managing its global Microsoft Active Directory for 17,000 employees. Manual scripts were insufficient to catch misconfigurations in real time, leaving the company exposed to potential identity-based attacks and lateral movement by threat actors. To gain the necessary visibility and control, Vallourec turned to Tenable and implemented Tenable Identity Exposure.

With Tenable Identity Exposure, the team achieved real-time monitoring of all Active Directory changes and automated alerts. This eliminated slow manual checks and allowed them to fix security issues rapidly, reducing remediation time for some problems from weeks to just minutes. The solution provided critical features like Trail Flow for event analysis and a dashboard for tracking security posture. Vallourec states that Tenable delivered the essential visibility and control they needed, performing its job effectively where internal efforts could not have been viably replicated.
