Case Study: Kärcher achieves continuous cyber visibility and proactive protection with XM Cyber

XM Cyber and Kärcher Protecting a Global Innovator With Continuous Visibility

Kärcher, the global manufacturer behind products and systems used in homes, industry, and cities, needed a better way to protect its expanding digital ecosystem as IoT, cloud, AI, and remote service tools increased its attack surface. To preserve data sovereignty and maintain control across its international operations, Kärcher turned to XM Cyber for continuous exposure management instead of relying on periodic, backward-looking pentests.

XM Cyber, running on STACKIT’s sovereign European cloud, gave Kärcher continuous visibility into attack paths, critical vulnerabilities, and overall security posture across workstations and servers. The result was faster implementation, immediate exposure insight, stronger collaboration between IT and security teams, and a more proactive approach to risk reduction that supports operational stability and European data protection requirements.
