Case studies
Reducing the cost of incidents
A global infrastructure company asked S-RM to conduct a comprehensive test of its physical and cyber security across five offices on three continents. The findings informed an overhaul of the link between their physical and cyber security globally and reduced the annual cost of security incidents by over 50%.
Case studies
Assessing critical software security
A regulated financial services company engaged S-RM to test their new investment management app prior to launch. Our offensive security team found a way to purchase underlying investments through the app without being authenticated. The client was able to remediate the vulnerability and prevent potentially severe financial and reputational losses.
