Industry: Digital software
Xplor Technologies provides enterprise-grade technology solutions for businesses in ‘everyday life’ verticals - childcare and education, fitness and wellbeing, field services, families and personal services. The company services over 78,000 customers that processed over $36 billion in payments, operating across 20 markets.
Challenge
But like all software, the environment is constantly scaling and evolving. Xplor recognised that it needed to align with a security vendor that empowered it to focus on the highest fidelity risks so it could prioritize its attention on the day to day running of its business.
Solution
Xplor’s CISO Kevin Kanji describes working with Plerion as truly transformative for them. “As a digital native payments and software company constantly scaling and evolving, we needed a security vendor that could provide us with a complete understanding and visibility of the risks in our hybrid cloud environment. Plerion’s unique approach stood out, as it collects data from multiple sources, giving us more context and empowering us to define our risk parameters and prioritize our attention on a day-to-day basis.”
Plerion gave Xplor the much needed cross-team visibility over its Azure and AWS environments through a single pane of glass, making it easier to understand our overall risk posture, he adds.
“Their attack path analysis using graph technology has given us insights into potential attack paths in our cloud environment; something we didn't have sufficient visibility over before.”
Meanwhile, Plerion’s custom workflows and risk parameters allow Xplor to define what risk means to the team and receive tailored information in our ticketing system. “Plerion's support and collaboration have been exceptional, always receptive to our requests and feature ideas - their ability to adapt to our needs has been pivotal for us,” Kanji says.
He explains: “With Plerion's advanced Security Graph and risk-driven approach, we now have the right tools to make informed decisions and mitigate potential threats effectively. Working with Plerion has been a game-changer for our cloud security, and we highly recommend their services to any organization in need of comprehensive and proactive cloud protection."
Key benefits
Multi-cloud – Plerion provides Xplor with visibility over both its Azure and AWS environments, critical to efficiently understand overall risk posture through a single pane of glass.
Attack path analysis – Plerion also uses graph technology to map associations between Xplor’s cloud assets, effectively mapping out if there are any attack paths in the cloud environment to sensitive data – something that Xplor just simply didn’t have any visibility over before using the platform.
Custom workflows – Plerion gives Xplor the ability to define what risk actually looks like through its custom filters and workflows. This means that it’s easy to define where the attention is focused and how we receive that information within its ticketing system.
Best of all, Plerion is always on call for their team, and receptive to specific product feature requests.
