SAFE Provides a Quantified Visibility into Tata Consumer Products’ Enterprise Risk Posture and Addresses Crucial CXO-level Concerns

“In the face of a rapidly evolving threat landscape, industry threat parameters are getting extremely complex. Globally, enterprise security teams are facing new challenges on a daily basis.

SAFE plays a crucial role in addressing some of the biggest security threats faced by organizations. It plays a crucial role in identifying enterprise-wide security misconfigurations. We haven’t found any other platform in its entirety that has such a rock-solid risk score computation and unique positioning around providing a continuous, quantified view of enterprise risk posture.”

Challenges

01
Need for a comprehensive data-backed view of the cybersecurity posture
02
Need for an actionable execution plan to transform the organization’s cybersecurity posture to the recommended risk level
03
Lack of a quantified risk view to facilitate meaningful and impact-oriented boardroom discussions around measuring and addressing security risks.
With the cyberattacks at an all-time high, enterprises worldwide are grappling with the rapidly evolving threat environment in addition to an explosion of data, increased regulation, and skills shortage. Security leaders are on a constant lookout for an agile and proactive approach to security that keeps pace with rapidly evolving threats and opportunities.
“We needed a tool that helped us provide a comprehensive, real-time visibility into our organization’s security risk posture and let us revisit the controls deployed to defend against the emerging threats and possible onslaught”
Infrastructure & Operation Team
Tata Consumer Products
The infrastructure & operation team at Tata Consumer Products needed a fast, flexible and unified solution for a 360° visibility into their entire infrastructure that aided them in devising an impact-oriented actionable plan.

Additionally, addressing security challenges and associated business implications has now become a boardroom agenda worldwide. Board members are actively investing time and effort into discussing, reviewing, and planning cyber risks as the companies act make them personally liable for any breaches. At Tata Consumer Products, there was a clear need for a real-time, continuous, quantified view for the board showcasing how secure the organization was and how resilient was its hybrid technology stack.

Solution
The infrastructure & operation team at Tata Consumer Products chose SAFE - an enterprise-class, unified, and real-time Cybersecurity and Digital Business Risk Quantification (CRQ) platform. SAFE offers a comprehensive solution and a unique assessment approach across five threat vectors concerning organizations, namely People, Policy, Technology, Cybersecurity Products, and Third-party.
“We had evaluated comparable platforms, but none that we found provided the level of transparency into the resiliency of our hybrid technology stack that SAFE provided. Additionally, SAFE helped outline a clear roadmap for remediation and strategize security efforts.”

A team that is ready to listen, act and improvise

“We don’t believe that enterprise security can ever be one-size-fits-all. Instead, one needs to take an agile, proactive approach to deal with security threats and opportunities.

Tata Consumer Team’s Vision for SAFE: Strengthening Zero trust implementation with SAFE

“With the adoption of cloud and emerging technologies gaining pace, the enterprise perimeter is gradually fading away. This paves way for a new security approach embracing zero-trust; in other words, trust no one.

The way we envision cybersecurity risk management is that we narrow it down to implementing zero-trust at the user and device levels and at wherever the enterprise chooses to keep the data - be it on-prem or cloud. This way we are ensuring that every incoming connection within the modern digital environment is scrutinized with zero-trust. We envision SAFE to monitor and strengthen zero-trust implementation in an enterprise environment in times to come.”
