Security Challenges:
- Four completely siloed sub-divisions that needed to consolidate with 24/7 SOC support from a provider with standardized security tooling and processes.
- Lack of subject matter expertise in-house so they needed expert-level guidance from a trusted MDR partner to identify and address gaps in their security program
- Leverage their existing investments in Microsoft E5 and Sentinel to enhance their endpoint protection
- Improve their cybersecurity maturity by leveraging Elite Threat Hunters to stay ahead of the threat landscape
- Limited resources leaving them unable to monitor the complete attack surface 24/7 or build an internal SOC
- Meet compliance requirements for 18 different global security certifications including the Essential Eight, Cyber Essentials, NIST, CMMC, DFARS 7012, ISO 27000, & more
