Introduction
Firefly is a Cloud Asset Management tool for DevOps, SRE, and Platform teams. It helps them rediscover their entire cloud footprint, manage their cloud resources, identify unmanaged parts, detect drifts to prevent failures, and control their inventory efficiently.
Firefly has rapidly grown in the fast-paced cybersecurity market while maintaining high compliance standards. Ido’s background in cybersecurity and cloud-native computing has contributed to Firefly’s success in navigating these challenges.
The Problem
As Firefly expanded, managing security questionnaires became a time-consuming and resource-draining task. Ido and his team were faced with multiple security questionnaires and compliance requests, requiring them to devote substantial time and effort to completing lengthy questionnaire responses.
“We were seeing an increasing number of security questionnaires as we continued to grow," Ido explained. "The challenge wasn't just the volume, but how long it took to get them done. Sometimes it would take days, even weeks, and we needed a solution that could speed up the process while maintaining accuracy.”
Firefly needed a solution that could handle the rising number of security questionnaires while supporting their ambitious growth without overloading their internal resources.
The Solution
Firefly turned to Vendict's AI-powered solution, which provided an automated and intelligent way to manage security questionnaires. The platform streamlined the security questionnaire response process by suggesting answers based on relevant documents and past responses, dramatically cutting down the time required for each submission.

The platform was intuitive and easy to get to know, with Firefly’s existing documents being quickly uploaded to build a comprehensive knowledge base. This allowed the team to address recurring questions swiftly, while Vendict’s automation ensured that responses were accurate and consistent.
One of the standout features for Firefly is Vendict's advanced AI technology, which not only helped to automate responses but also learned from past questionnaires to continually improve over time. This allowed the platform to generate more accurate answers with less manual intervention, making the process faster and more reliable with each use.
“The AI in Vendict is really impressive,” Ido shared. “With each questionnaire, the system learns more, which means less time spent reviewing and more confidence that we’re providing the right information. It’s like having an expert on your team without the overhead.”
The Result
Vendict’s platform provided immediate benefits, significantly reducing the time spent on security questionnaires, allowing Firefly’s team to focus on scaling their business and ensuring compliance without friction.
“What used to drag on for days is now wrapped up in just a few hours,” Ido highlighted. “It’s not only about the faster turnaround but also the certainty that our responses are accurate. Vendict keeps us ahead of the game, which is crucial in an industry that’s always moving at high speed.”
Their focus on rapid growth demands an efficient and scalable solution to manage compliance, and Vendict provided the edge they needed to keep pace without sacrificing operational efficiency.
