From Fragmentation to Cohesion: Streamlining Cybersecurity Across a Multinational Holding Company
A multinational holding company, with its vast and varied portfolio, encounters significant challenges in harmonising cybersecurity asset management across its subsidiaries. The autonomy granted to each subsidiary results in a fragmented cybersecurity landscape, marked by diverse IT infrastructures and a mosaic of security tools. This setup impedes the holding company's ability to implement uniform cybersecurity practices, complicating the management of potential vulnerabilities and compliance across the group.
CHALLANGES
- Siloed Locations and Varied Cybersecurity Tools
- Inconsistent Cybersecurity Policies
- Lack of Real-Time Visibility
- Reporting Complexities
With multinational holdings, each subsidiary is like a separate realm, each with its own customs and defences. Despite their strength, the diversity made it hard to see threats coming or speak a common security language. Guardians faced the dark with outdated maps, unable to spot or swiftly communicate threats across the lands. This tale of fragmented defences highlights the intricate challenge of protecting a diverse corporate empire from cyber dangers.
