About the customer
GK Software, provides advanced POS solutions for global retailers. Headquartered in Schöneck/Vogtland, Germany, the company employs around 1,300 people and focuses on innovation and security to ensure seamless customer experiences.
GK Software partnered with Fujitsu and XM Cyber to implement a hybrid security
service. By deploying the XM Cyber platform and leveraging Fujitsu’s expertise, the team
gained strategic intelligence and visualization to identify and eliminate attack choke
points before exploitation. Real-world attack simulations provided clarity on critical
assets and entry points, enabling proactive prevention rather than reactive remediation.
This approach allowed GK Software to move beyond high CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) scores and focus on the exposures that matter most.
Confidence through compliance
Resources were prioritized for the exposures that offered the fastest path to critical assets, ensuring maximum impact. Objective data from XM Cyber supported
compliance with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 standards, strengthening governance and risk
management. The implementation was completed in just three months, supported by
weekly technical consultant meetings during rollout. GK Software rated its satisfaction
with the solution and support at 9 out of 10, citing proactive communication and
smooth execution as key success factors.
Through its partnership with Fujitsu and XM Cyber, GK Software has established itself
as a highly secure partner for global operations. By focusing on choke points and
considering the entire threat landscape, the company guarantees proactive protection
and a demonstrably stronger security posture against evolving threats.
