About The Customer
The name Diebold has long been synonymous with innovative technology and security systems. Headquartered in Canton, Ohio, the company has approximately 16,000 employees worldwide and boasts a service team that’s one of the largest in the industry, with more than 7,000 field professionals serving 600 locations. Due to the company’s global footprint, somewhere in the world the sun is always shining on Diebold. Ryan Elkins, Senior Manager of Information Security at Diebold, calls it a “follow-the-sun” model in terms of support, which is provided 24/7. And if the data is always flowing, then the security team needs to be on their A-game.
The Challenge
Diebold needed an effective threat exposure management solution that would offer scalability and visibility. Given the pivotal role vulnerability management plays at Diebold, selecting a vulnerability management solution was an important task which the team did not undertake lightly. A main priority for them was the effectiveness of the vulnerability scanner. Diebold needed accurate, up-to-date, real-time data. Scalability was also an important factor; being a global company, they needed the ability to reach around the world without adding administrative overhead.
