The CHALLENGE

The company used a CMDB to track assets, configurations, and asset owners in systems accessed by over 30,000 external vendors and partners. During an audit, the company discovered that their manual updating process meant there was no record of several hundred systems accessed by vendors. They needed a way to keep the CMDB updated in real time.

WHY REVEALX

Why the Global Telco Provider Chose RevealX

The network team was already using RevealX for performance management

RevealX automatically discovers both the presence of devices on the network and their configuration details in real time

Device and configuration details automatically populate into CMDB

The Outcome

Eliminated Security Blind Spots

Automatic visibility into a significant and previously opaque source of risk

The security team discovered over 650 devices connecting to the network that were unaccounted for in the CMDB.
Many of these devices had access to company data, as well as the ability to move data into or out of the network.
RevealX helped the team register these devices without manually checking ARP tables and tracing cables.

Insight Prevents Oversight

The security team discovered that a third party vendor was unknowingly transmitting personally identifiable information (PII) in clear text using Telnet, an insecure, deprecated protocol, instead of HTTPS, risking a PCI compliance violation and leaving the data exposed to a potential breach.
With RevealX, the company and the vendor quickly remediated the issue before it led to a violation that could cost millions of dollars in fines.

Independent Investigations at Scale

The total visibility provided by RevealX allows the security team to independently investigate connections between internal resources and external services without relying on the more than 30,000 third parties accessing the network to promptly provide accurate information.
