What were the challenges Archroma was facing from a security perspective?
We are a relatively young company, and we brought Edgescan on board quite early on, so rather than transitioning from another vulnerability management solution it was more a case of deploying the Edgescan SaaS across our IT infrastructure. We operate in the Operational Technology (OT) space, as well, but currently we have a different approach to securing that side of the business.
When we adopted Edgescan, our focus was to ensure that security was designed into our processes, building it from the ground up and embedding it into our operations.
Did you consider other solutions before you settled on Edgescan?
Yes, we went through our regular sourcing process, but the other vulnerability management solutions that came up against Edgescan were all fully automated. The human factor was what tipped in favour of Edgescan: we really saw the value in having a team of qualified pen testers verifying each and every vulnerability, providing us with intelligence and patching support should we need that.
How did you find the onboarding process?
The onboarding was very swift. We started with an asset discovery, and it didn’t take more than two weeks to have the solution up and running, and set up across Archroma’s entire IT infrastructure.
How has Archroma benefitted from using Edgescan?
Edgescan gives us the peace of mind that comes with knowing that our vulnerability management solution is virtually false-positive free. The accuracy that comes with human validation, paired with the efficiency of automatic, continuous scanning, means that my team now knows that whenever a vulnerability is flagged, the vulnerability is there, and they can continue working until they find it and fix it.
