The Challenge_
A leading global telecommunications company with large integrated satellite and terrestrial networks provides diverse services to telecommunications operators, enterprises, media companies, and government entities. They chose Eclypsium to provide better visibility and vulnerability management on thousands of Cisco and Juniper network devices critical to their global operations.
Within 1-2 months, Eclypsium was able to deliver on the company’s foundational security needs, and build a roadmap for even more visibility and hardening of network assets over time.
| Customer Needs | Eclypsium Results |
| Vulnerability management in network infrastructure that was not effectively monitored by their existing vulnerability management solution. | 750+ Vulnerabilities, and 32 Critical Unique Vulnerabilities discovered in their network environment. |
| Network device inventory with firmware version and update tracking across thousands of devices from multiple vendors. | 65% Assets with outdated firmware discovered. |
| Device hardening, integrity monitoring, and configuration change detection in firmware across critical network devices. | Security configurations mapped, with detailed information about their security and support status across all assets. Eclypsium discovered numerous configuration and integrity challenges, including certificate misalignment on critical network devices. |
Continuous, Comprehensive Reporting_
Eclypsium continuously monitors assets and identifies risks, integrity failures, configuration changes, vulnerabilities, and indicators of compromise, providing peace of mind to this global satellite network operator that their network infrastructure is secure.
How Eclypsium Platform Defends Against Growing Network Attacks_
The number of attacks and vulnerabilities targeting network devices from Cisco, Juniper, and other major network infrastructure providers is on the rise. 2024 and 2025 saw major disclosures of China-sponsored attackers given the “Typhoon” moniker targeting telecoms. Eclypsium delivers inventory, hardening, and detection and response to protect undermonitored network infrastructure that is increasingly under attack by nation states and ransomware gangs.
| INVENTORY | HARDEN | DETECT & RESPOND |
