Client: Various entities in the financial sector
Sector: Cybersecurity and financial services
Collaboration: Design and implementation of an automated vulnerability detection solution
Strengthening cybersecurity in critical environments
In 2019, a company specialized in cybersecurity developed an advanced platform to protect critical infrastructures in organizations with high security standards, especially in the financial sector. The initiative responded to an urgent need: automate the detection of vulnerabilities (CVE) in environments with thousands of assets, reducing reliance on slow manual processes.
The challenge
Extensive and changing inventories: Thousands of technological assets per entity, constantly evolving.
Emerging vulnerabilities daily: Manual review was insufficient to keep pace.
High regulatory standards: Strict requirements for compliance and incident response.
The automated technical solution
From the role of lead engineer, the design and implementation of a platform capable of:
Monitoring over 10,000 assets per client continuously.
Detecting newly published vulnerabilities (CVE) in real-time that could affect the systems.
Automatically notifying security teams, prioritizing based on risk and the criticality of the involved assets.
Integrating seamlessly with the existing technological environments in each organization.
Impact and results
Proactive incident prevention through early detection of vulnerable infrastructure.
Drastic reduction in response times to new threats.
Optimization of regulatory compliance and technological risk management.
Greater visibility and control for internal cybersecurity teams.
From manual reaction to intelligent protection
This solution marked a turning point for financial entities, allowing them to move from a reactive approach to a strategy of preventive and automated cybersecurity, tailored to the real pace of today's digital ecosystem.
