The Challenge

Uncontrolled Attack Surface Across 300+ Subsidiaries

A large financial services group had no visibility into its external attack surface. Shadow IT, forgotten subdomains, and exposed credentials accumulating faster than the team could track.

  • No centralised visibility across 300+ subsidiaries
  • Thousands of unknown internet-facing assets
  • Credential leaks going undetected for months
  • Regulatory pressure from RBI and SEBI

The Solution

Continuous Attack Surface Monitoring with Managed Response

ShadowMap deployed for continuous external attack surface monitoring, combined with a dedicated managed services team for triage and takedown coordination.

Services used

shadowmap managed-security

Our approach

  1. 01 Asset enumeration: 4,700+ assets discovered vs 1,200 known
  2. 02 Risk scoring by exposure and business criticality
  3. 03 Dark web monitoring: 14 active credential leaks identified
  4. 04 Takedown programme: 47 phishing domains removed
  5. 05 Weekly exposure reports + monthly board summary

The Results

40% Reduction in Attack Surface Exposure in 6 Months

Full visibility achieved; highest-risk exposures systematically reduced.
