Software and Technology developers require cyber security controls that fit their business and their deliverables.
Case Study: Empowering a Technology Company to Mitigate Risk and Reduce Cyber Insurance Costs
Background
A fast-growing software development firm struggled to maintain robust security across its dynamic cloud infrastructure and ever-evolving technology stacks. Frequent deployments and multiple cloud environments made it challenging to detect vulnerabilities and respond to threats before they could cause operational harm.
Challenge
The company needed a comprehensive, real-time security solution that could:
- Continuously monitor code repositories, production servers, and developer environments.
- Identify hidden vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
- Provide immediate, automated threat detection and response.
However, their disparate security tools were cumbersome, generating excessive alerts without clear guidance. The firm also faced rising cyber liability insurance premiums, further straining budgets intended for product innovation.
Solution
By partnering with Antigen Security, the company deployed a flexible, cloud-based cybersecurity platform designed to:
- Offer continuous scanning and real-time visibility into all assets—whether on-prem, in the cloud, or containerized.
- Deploy threat detection rules to spot indicators of compromise promptly.
- Provide actionable intelligence, prioritizing the most critical issues and facilitating automated remediation workflows.
In addition, Antigen Security’s focus on aligning these enhanced security controls with insurance carrier requirements meant the company could demonstrate a significantly reduced risk profile to insurers.
Results
- Streamlined Security Operations: The centralized, unified dashboard cut down on alert noise, allowing the tech team to focus on critical threats and quickly address vulnerabilities.
- Improved Risk Posture: Continuous monitoring and automated response boosted confidence in the firm’s resilience, reducing the likelihood of successful breaches or compliance lapses.
- Significant Premium Savings: With clear proof of reduced risk, the firm obtained renewed cyber liability coverage at a 60% lower premium, freeing capital for R&D and other strategic initiatives.
Conclusion
Thanks to Antigen Security’s advanced cybersecurity solutions and carrier-aligned approach, this technology company now boasts an enhanced security posture and significant insurance savings. By unifying threat detection, continuous monitoring, and intelligent remediation, Antigen Security proved an invaluable partner in both reducing cyber risk and driving down the cost of coverage.
