Fragmented Vulnerability Management Bottlenecked MTTR & Patching
Nestlé’s cybersecurity framework relied heavily on manual processes, which led to inefficiencies in managing vulnerabilities across their vast IT infrastructure. This manual approach increased the risk of human error and resulted in slow response times to emerging threats. Each team operated in silos, using different tools and procedures, which further compounded the difficulty of having a cohesive and timely reaction to security incidents.
The fragmented nature of their previous operational practices meant that information about vulnerabilities was often dispersed and inconsistent, leading to incomplete visibility and patchy threat management. This lack of integration hindered Nestlé’s ability to prioritize and address the most critical vulnerabilities, leaving their systems vulnerable to attack matters because it puts such a notable brand at reputational risk.
Brinqa Streamlined & Unified Nestlé Vulnerability Operations
As the Nestlé team worked to modernize and improve the detection and management of exposures and vulnerabilities to reduce risk, they knew an aggregation and prioritization platform would be essential. They discovered the Brinqa threat exposure management platform known for its robust, flexible and enterprise-class risk-based vulnerability management.
“At Nestlé we collect vulnerability intelligence from various feeds, enrich it with trade intelligence and calculate risk rating based on our own criteria. And then, we bundle vulnerabilities according to patching calendars and automatically create and send tickets to the patching teams. Brinqa enables us to do this without scanning or any extra effort.”
Nestle’s Risk-Based, Automated Approach Enabled by Brinqa Yields Dramatic Results
The implementation of Brinqa yielded significant improvements in Nestlé’s cybersecurity posture. By centralizing and automating vulnerability management, Nestlé achieved a more comprehensive and timely response to security threats, significantly reducing the risk of breaches. The new system enhanced visibility across all levels of the organization, allowing for faster detection, analysis, and remediation of vulnerabilities.
Ultimately, Brinqa’s platform empowered Nestlé to create a sophisticated shared ownership model to maintain a stronger, more resilient cybersecurity framework. The team is now well-equipped to handle the complexities of a modern global enterprise. With Brinqa, Nestlé maintains an efficient and automated vulnerability and exposure management operation that meet the specific needs of the business. The Brinqa platform integrated seamlessly with Nestlé’s diverse technologies, automating crucial aspects of their vulnerability management process.
