THE CHALLENGE

Triage at Hyper-Scale

As software becomes the backbone of modern automotive technology, development velocity and security must advance in lockstep. Managing security vulnerabilities across approximately 1,000 active projects created an immense cognitive load for a leading North American automotive enterprise that slowed down the software development lifecycle.  

Security processes relied heavily on manual intervention — security engineers and development teams spent valuable hours investigating flagged vulnerabilities that often turned out to be false positives. This created operational friction, prolonged communication loops and distracted highly skilled engineering talent from delivering core product features.

The company turned to EPAM for its AI-native cyber resiliency expertise to address these core challenges:

Fragmented workflow integration

THE SOLUTION

Agentic AI Security Operations 

To bridge the gap between security compliance and developer speed, EPAM created a roadmap to gradually introduce a suite of AI agents and copilots that automate security workflows. From there, we put the plan into motion — building a next-generation security operations service that uses agents to automatically analyze each vulnerability with supporting evidence and recommendations. Engineered to integrate seamlessly with the client's existing security and developer infrastructure, this solution automates the end-to-end vulnerability lifecycle. 

Critical features of the solution include: 

Contextual Enrichment

Intelligent Triage

Standardized Collaboration

Key Benefits

From unlocking operational efficiencies to building a repeatable model for risk mitigation and governance, the automotive leader realized the following benefits:

01

Empowered Security Engineers

By automating manual triage and justification for false positives, security engineers reduced their hands-on processing time from 30-60 minutes to 5-10 minutes, allowing them to focus on high-risk complex reviews.

02

Frictionless False-Positive Resolution

Automated identification and verification of false positives eliminated long email threads and expedited team-to-team alignment by up to two hours per issue. 

03

Shielding Engineering Productivity

Developers experienced fewer security-related interruptions and avoided costly context-switching, reclaiming time spent clarifying vulnerability contexts. 

04

Talent Redirection

Talented engineers and security specialists were successfully redirected from administrative triage toward proactive, preventive security design and threat modeling. 

05

Structured Triage Framework

The solution established a highly reliable, consistent and predictable approach to vulnerability triage, eliminating subjective decision-making. 

06

Reduced Security Backlog

Automated workflows systematically cleared the backlog from false positives and provided security leadership with a reliable view of the overall risk security posture.
