Challenges

Customer faced persistent security gaps with their incumbent email solution, Check Point (Avanan), which allowed threats to bypass controls and forced users into time-consuming manual remediation. Customer also had alert overload and SOC fatigue as well as slow detection and response with their incumbent MDR provider.

  • Ineffective Threat Detection: Their existing solution was letting a lot get through, exposing the organization to risk and requiring constant vigilance.
  • Manual Workload & User Fatigue: Employees were overwhelmed, engaged with lots of stuff, indicating that too much time was spent managing threats instead of focusing on core responsibilities.

They needed a more automated, reliable, and modern approach to security that would reduce manual intervention and deliver measurable protection.

Deployment
  • Automated, AI-driven threat detection that replaced manual processes and improved security posture.
  • Seamless transition from existing solutions with rapid deployment and minimal disruption.
  • Comprehensive protection against BEC and credential phishing, tailored for a fast-growing digital health company.
Results
  • Dramatically improved detection of advanced threats, including BEC and credential phishing.
  • Significant reduction in manual workload for IT and end users.
  • Enhanced operational efficiency and risk mitigation.
