GUD Gains Control of its Attack Surface Across 17 Subsidiaries with Cymulate ASM

Operating 17 subsidiaries, GUD relies on a small security team to keep track of each business unit’s external assets.

Operating 17 portfolio companies in the automotive aftermarket and water products sectors, GUD relies on a small security team and automated offensive security testing from Cymulate. GUD measures the security efficacy of each business consistently across all its business units with Cymulate Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) and Cymulate Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART) (read more).

When Shaun Curtis, Head of Cybersecurity, wanted to take control of the organization’s attack surface, he again looked to Cymulate. With responsibility across the 17 subsidiaries, Shaun and his small team recognized the need to keep track of each business unit’s external assets. This unmonitored external attack surface could expose the organization to social engineering attacks or unauthorized network access, establishing a foothold within the organization.

Shaun elaborated, “I chose to implement Cymulate ASM because I wanted intelligence on my assets, not just a long list of vulnerabilities that a vulnerability management tool would give me.”

Implementation was simple. The security team provided one domain, and Cymulate ASM automatically found all its additional related domains. Each GUD business unit uses Cymulate ASM to automate two types of scans: One to discover assets (weekly) and one to detect vulnerabilities and misconfigurations against those found assets (monthly).
