About The Customer
Security Finance is a financial services company based in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The company has a significant presence, with about 1,000 locations spread across the United States and Mexico. For over 65 years, Security Finance has been providing easy and safe installment loans nationwide. The company has a complex infrastructure, including its own in-house software and various systems across multiple data centers. As a financial institution, Security Finance is a constant target for cyber attacks, making robust and proactive security measures crucial for its operations.
The Challenge
Security Finance, a financial services company with over 1,000 locations across the United States and Mexico, was facing a significant challenge in maintaining its cybersecurity. As a financial institution, it was a constant target for cyber attacks, necessitating a proactive rather than reactive approach to security. The company's situation was further complicated by its extensive infrastructure, which included in-house software and various systems across multiple data centers. This vast surface area increased the potential for attacks. Additionally, the company's security program was not very mature, and they lacked a comprehensive understanding of their assets and the associated vulnerabilities. Prior to implementing a solution, the company was primarily focused on patch management, without a full understanding of the remaining vulnerabilities in their systems.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Security Finance chose InsightVM, a vulnerability management solution. InsightVM enabled the company to identify all assets in their environment and understand their associated risks. It also facilitated efficient, cross-functional remediation with ITSM integrations. Furthermore, InsightVM's robust reporting capabilities allowed the company to communicate the success of risk reduction efforts to executives. The decision to choose InsightVM was made after evaluating several other products, with InsightVM standing out due to its robust features, including its reporting capability and its ability to integrate with other systems in the company's environment. The company also narrowed down their ITSM tool to one that integrates with InsightVM, further enhancing their security management capabilities.

The robust reporting capabilities of InsightVM have also been instrumental in communicating the success of risk reduction efforts to executives.
