A prominent global Fortune 500 software publisher faced significant challenges related to software supply chain security. The organisation sought comprehensive strategies to protect the software lifecycle - from design and development to deployment and maintenance - while ensuring compliance. Key requirements included securing file transfers, meeting compliance standards, safeguarding code from malicious insertion, mitigating insider threats, and establishing robust disaster recovery measures.
SoftwareOne and OPSWAT addressed these needs through a two-phase approach. The first phase involved gathering information and conducting a risk assessment. The second phase included a proof of concept (POC) to demonstrate the proposed solution's capabilities and build a strong business case for return on investment (ROI). The implemented solution now enables seamless large file sharing, real-time threat detection, and compliance, supporting the client’s strategic roadmap and facilitating regional collaboration.
The SoftwareOne-OPSWAT collaboration represents a significant step forward in cybersecurity, combining advanced technologies and strategic expertise to tackle complex challenges and protect critical infrastructure. This collaboration is poised to drive advancements in cybersecurity and bolster the security posture of organisations globally.
