Securing Billions: Strengthening the Cyber Defense of a Leading E-Commerce Enterprise

Client Profile

A $35B e-commerce enterprise operating one of India’s largest digital ecosystems needed to strengthen its cybersecurity posture. With extensive subsidiaries, large-scale applications, complex networks, expanding cloud workloads, and internal business platforms, the organization required unified, scalable, and proactive security oversight.

The Challenge

The enterprise faced three critical barriers to achieving a resilient security posture:

• Limited visibility – Significant portions of the infrastructure lacked monitoring, leaving unknown assets exposed.
• Fragmented security landscape – Security controls differed across business units, reducing uniformity and weakening governance.
• Uncertain effectiveness – The organization needed clear validation of whether existing defenses could withstand modern, sophisticated cyberattacks.

The Solution:

A comprehensive security advancement program was implemented to strengthen visibility, governance, and real-world readiness across the enterprise.

1. Advanced Attack Surface Management (ASM)

A multi-layer attack surface analysis was conducted using structured reconnaissance, advanced discovery mechanisms, and intelligence-driven methodologies. This enabled a full mapping of high-risk internal and external exposures.

2. Centralized Cyber Asset Inventory

An enterprise-wide asset inventory was established, tagging and classifying every endpoint, cloud instance, application, microservice, and internal system. This unified foundation supported more accurate and consistent security governance.

3. Red Team Simulations

Controlled red-team exercises replicated realistic threat-actor behavior, exposing exploitable attack paths and validating the strength of existing controls. The findings enabled accurate prioritization of remediation actions.

4. Extended Competency for Deep-Dive Areas

Specialized capability was incorporated for areas that required continuous ASM automation and enriched analytical depth, enabling the program to operate at enterprise scale without compromising delivery effectiveness.

Outcome

The initiative significantly enhanced the organization’s cybersecurity maturity, delivering measurable improvements across visibility, resilience, and operational governance:

• 40% increase in previously undiscovered assets identified
• Greater operational efficiency across SOC/SIEM workflows
• Significantly stronger readiness against modern threat vectors
• Consistent security baseline established across subsidiaries
