Case Study: Large Italian Financial Services Firm Improves Security Prioritization with XM Cyber

How XM Cyber Helps a Large Italian Financial Institution Prioritize Risk and Improve Security Posture

A large Italian financial services firm was overwhelmed by vulnerability data and struggled to determine which issues truly put critical assets at risk. The security team needed better visibility into attack paths and choke points so it could prioritize remediation and explain risk more clearly to leadership. To address this, the company turned to XM Cyber’s exposure management platform.

XM Cyber helped the team visualize how attackers could reach critical assets, identify hidden exposures, and focus on the choke points that mattered most. As a result, the firm improved its security score over time, reduced time spent chasing low-value vulnerabilities, and was able to demonstrate clear progress to management every three months. XM Cyber also improved remediation efficiency and gave leadership greater confidence in the team’s risk-based prioritization.
