The Customer

As a company operating in the aviation sector, Polaris Aviation Solutions faces a unique set of security challenges. The organization is responsible for aircraft charter services, aircraft fleet management, and maintenance, which necessitates the handling of sensitive information and the management of clients’ critical infrastructure.

Utilizing Seerist’s asset management capabilities, they were able to map airport data including runway lengths/widths, surface types, and tower frequencies, and seamlessly pair this with the Seerist City reports for in-depth risk assessments.
