Hexagon ’ s Steve Lorimer explains how the enterprise created a strategy of centralisation and vetting to ensure high-level security in its operations

W ith the threat level growing , the attack surface expanding , and AI augmenting attacks , enterprises are having an increasingly tough time trying to secure themselves and their digital assets from cyber threats .

It is a difficult enough task even for smaller enterprises . But how would a multi-billion-dollar large enterprise , that has thousands of endpoints , large digital and cloud infrastructure and complex data environments go about thinking of securing its operations ?
Luckily , one such company faced that scenario and has implemented a strategy that can be used as a case study for others to follow : Hexagon AB .
With a presence in over 50 countries and a workforce of approximately 24,500 , Hexagon is at the forefront of creating sensors and software that manage and organise the vast amount of data generated by our increasingly connected world .
Yet , this position in managing large amounts of data for numerous clients makes It an attractive target .
Therefore , a safe pair of hands , knowledgeable about the company from top to bottom , is what is needed . Hexagon has just that .
