Industry: FinTech
Cache Investment Management Ltd (“Cache”) operates in the FinTech space as an Investing-as-a-Service provider. Their platform allows companies to quickly launch digital investment products for their customers. Through modern APIs, businesses can integrate investment solutions directly into their apps, websites, or other platforms, making it easy for their customers to access investment options.
Challenge
As a growing company, Cache didn’t have an internal team to build their own cloud operations team. Cache partnered with DNX to manage their cloud infrastructure, but this introduced new challenges. Cache’s CTO, Greg Steiniger struggled with not knowing what the risks and vulnerabilities were within the managed environment. Without a clear understanding of which risks were mitigated or still open, staying on top of emerging threats felt nearly impossible. Even when some information was available, it only offered a point-in-time snapshot, leaving Greg concerned about newly arising risks that could go unnoticed. This lack of visibility could lead to undetected vulnerabilities, increasing the risk of security breaches.
Solution
To address these challenges, Cache uses Plerion’s platform to gain better visibility into their cloud security risks. The implementation process was easy, as Cache’s partner, DNX, handled the setup. Greg shares, "From Cache’s perspective, it was incredibly easy! DNX set everything up with Plerion, and I was granted a user login which allowed me to see our risk profile immediately."This straightforward integration enabled Cache to quickly focus on their most significant risks.
Greg notes, "As a small company with limited resources, Plerion will help us know where to focus on our biggest risks and quickly alert us to any risk-creating changes we have made."
This focus allows Cache to work with DNX to adopt best-practice cybersecurity as they continue to grow, avoiding costly retrofits in the future. Greg also mentions that the platform’s alignment with ISO 27001, SOC2, NIST, and Essential 8 standards has been valuable.
With a severity-based priority list and enhanced risk visibility, including Kubernetes-related issues, Plerion ensures that Cache remains proactive in their cybersecurity approach.
