SUCCESS STORY
Sysmex, a Leader in the Medical Industry Enhancing Security Readiness with KELA
Building a framework for proactive risk mitigation and immediate response across a global healthcare company.
Share:
Sysmex, a global leader in medical diagnostic instruments operating in more than 190 countries, established its Sysmex-CSIRT in 2020 to protect patient test data and intellectual property built over 70 years. The team adopted three KELA Group solutions: KELA Threat Intelligence, the ULTRA RED attack surface and exposure management platform, and SLING SCORE for third-party risk.
Sysmex-CSIRT uses the Monitor and Identity Guard modules with KELA’s managed service to spot leaked accounts and exposed assets, escalate high-risk items to internal stakeholders, and reset or deactivate compromised accounts within hours. Regional offices work from the same dashboard, replacing the multi-step reporting that headquarters used to coordinate manually.
Key results:
- A global security operation framework with regional teams working from a single KELA interface
- Hidden, unmanaged IT assets surfaced and prioritized by urgency score with ULTRA RED
- Leaked account information and exposed assets reported to the right departments promptly, with swift password resets
- Periodic threat trend reports that let the team block attack techniques before they are used
- Internal threat intelligence skills and CSIRT maturity built up through daily use of the platform
