Case Study: a Fortune 1000 manufacturing company cuts MTTR with Zafran

Fortune 1000 Manufacturing Company cuts MTTR and saves 20K hours a month with Zafran

The customer, a Fortune 1000 manufacturing company, faced significant challenges with its vulnerability management program. It was inundated with millions of vulnerabilities from various scanners, creating friction between security and engineering teams who lacked a shared source of truth and context to prioritize exploitable risks. The company sought to replace its high-volume, manual process and enlisted Zafran to implement an AI-native threat exposure management platform.

Zafran provided a central platform that correlated vulnerabilities with business context and compensating controls to identify what was truly exploitable. The solution leveraged Zafran's Agentic AI to give engineers plain-language guidance for fixes and automate work item creation. As a result, the company saved an estimated 20,000 hours per month, reclassified thousands of critical vulnerabilities, and shifted executive reporting from raw vulnerability counts to measurable exposure reduction.
