Case Study: a Fortune 500 commercial insurance holding company achieves board-ready exposure visibility with Zafran

a Fortune 500 commercial insurance holding company reduced 90% of critical vulnerabilities with Zafran

A Fortune 500 commercial insurance holding company was challenged by a legacy vulnerability management program that relied solely on CVSS scores. This left the security team unable to accurately determine which vulnerabilities were truly exploitable, requiring hours of manual work to validate exposure and lacking a way to visualize its external attack surface. They turned to Zafran to implement its risk-based exposure management platform.

Zafran's solution ingested data from the company's existing security tools to correlate vulnerabilities with live telemetry, determining true exploitability based on reachability, runtime status, and existing controls. The results were significant: Zafran reduced 90% of critical CVSS vulnerabilities to low/medium risk, identified over 70 mitigations already available in existing tools, and uncovered critical visibility gaps, providing the team with an evidence-backed foundation for board-level reporting.
