Aristocrat

“Last year, we undertook a massive effort to ‘Scale, Integrate, Optimize, and Automate’ across our entire tech stack. It was a major success, leading to new deployments, expanded capabilities, and improvements across all our tools. But our biggest fear was having to repeat the entire process every year to ensure everything stayed optimized. Reach eliminated that fear by embedding continuous validation into our operations, giving us the confidence that our tools are always performing at their best without redoing all that work”

Aristocrat is a global leader in gaming and entertainment, serving millions of players every day with innovative experiences. With a team of over 8,500 people spanning the globe, Aristocrat is driven by its mission to bring joy to life through the power of play. This commitment to innovation and customer delight is matched by a focus on sustainability and security, supported by Aristocrat’s adoption of modern security architectures to ensure a safe and engaging experience for players worldwide.

As a cloud-first organization with 95% of operations in the cloud, Aristocrat recognized the need for an innovative approach in managing a dynamic and growing security environment. After completing a comprehensive, 9-month project to baseline and optimize controls across their cybersecurity infrastructure, they realized more than ever that the evolving nature of threats and the complexity of modern security stacks posed new challenges, making the adoption of a modern approach essential to optimizing their security posture.

Aristocrat partnered with Reach to address these challenges and bring continuous posture management into their operations. Reach integrated with Aristocrat’s tech stack—including identity, network, endpoint, conditional access and email— to enable a unified and automated approach to optimizing security controls.

“Reach Quests have been a game-changer for our team. They simplify the process of identifying what needs to be done and provide detailed, actionable guidance to get it done efficiently. It’s like having a trusted guide for optimizing our security posture, saving us time and reducing uncertainty.”

Since implementing Reach, Aristocrat has transformed its security operations and achieved several improvements:

  2. Operational Efficiency: Reach Quests streamlined workflows, helping the team act quickly on actionable-insights.
  3. Improved Visibility: Reach enhanced understanding of attack surfaces through tools like NIST CIF compliance dashboards and MITRE alignment.
  4. Cross-Team Collaboration: Reach facilitated stronger ties between IT and security teams, ensuring alignment on tool management and objectives.
