Business need: a complex supply chain

Wienerberger, a global manufacturing company with subsidiaries and production sites across multiple countries, needed a way to manage the complexity of its supply chain risk and IT landscape. With increasing dependencies on third, fourth, and fifth parties—and evolving regulations like NIS2 and DORA—Wienerberger required visibility into their global exposure to identify hidden risks, prevent disruptions, and protect customers from supply chain-related cyber incidents.

Bitsight has brought an unprecedented amount of visibility into our global IT landscape, helping us discover exposures we didn’t even know existed.

Solution: unprecedented visibility into its external attack surface and supply chain

Wienerberger partnered with Bitsight to gain unprecedented visibility into its external attack surface and supply chain. By leveraging Bitsight’s comprehensive company dataset, threat intelligence, and actionable insights, Wienerberger was able to filter overwhelming volumes of threat data into clear priorities. Bitsight also supported Wienerberger’s supplier risk assessments, aligning findings with internal processes to ensure more effective remediation and vendor collaboration.

Bitsight acts as a quality control on top of our internal processes, showing us what’s really out there and where to focus our remediation efforts.
