Challenge	Cepheid, a molecular diagnostics company, was seeking a multi-layer security solution, with a focus on 'OS hardening' or 'OS security'. They wanted to secure the OS itself, separate from and complementary to traditional vulnerability scanning. They also wanted a solution that could quickly bring a server back to a known security baseline if a potential risk was identified. The speed of remediation was to be based on the risk and the asset type, as well as industry recommendations. Read More
About Customer	Cepheid, now part of Danaher, is a US-based molecular diagnostics company that develops and manufactures systems for clinical market testing. The company automates complex and time-consuming manual procedures, making it a natural match for Cavirin, a company that offers similar automation for security risk and compliance. Cepheid has been a customer of Cavirin for over a year, using their services to secure their OS infrastructure and improve their security posture. Read More
Solution	Cepheid chose to use the Cavirin Platform for its OS security needs. The platform offers a broad set of Center for Internet (CIS) guidelines and frameworks that are integrated and automatically updated. This eliminates the need for Cepheid to subscribe to CIS and removes the burden of constantly monitoring the depository for the latest security updates. The Cavirin Platform also provides the ability to quickly remediate any identified risks, bringing a server back to a known security baseline. Read More Log in to view content
