Industry: E-commerce (Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle)
Company Size: Enterprise (Multi-billion dollar market cap)
Technical Environment: Hybrid cloud infrastructure, Microservices architecture
Development Methodology: Agile with CI/CD
Security Scale: 9,710+ assets, 55,690+ vulnerabilities tracked

Business Challenges

Before adopting Strobes CTEM, the organization encountered significant security and operational roadblocks:

  • Multiple security tools producing disparate, siloed findings
  • Lack of a centralized security monitoring and management system
  • Independent SAST, DAST, and infrastructure scanning tools causing duplication and inefficiency
  • High operational overhead due to manual correlation of findings
  • Expanding digital footprint with 9k+ assets
  • Multi-cloud Kubernetes environments across various regions
  • Over 100 microservices requiring end-to-end security coverage
  • High influx of security findings leading to alert fatigue and inefficient risk prioritization
  • Extensive manual triage consuming security engineering hours
  • Inefficient vulnerability prioritization delaying critical patching
  • Limited visibility into actual risk exposure, leading to ineffective remediation efforts
  • Security teams struggling with cross-functional coordination and response workflows
