Leading UK financial services firm transforms IT security with customized CyberProof solutions
OUR CLIENT
Our client is a leading UK-based financial services provider with 1,100+ employees and $300+ million in annual revenues.
THE CHALLENGE
Digital transformation brings new IT security challenges
At the time of engagement with CyberProof, a UST company, the client was at a crossroads with their IT security management. Their existing MSSP relationship was ending, and they were concurrently going through a rapid digital transformation in the IT space. Innovations brought new security challenges, and the client was seeking a partner that would be flexible enough to turn around solutions at a pace that aligned with the speed of changes happening across the IT industry.
The client specifically wanted to address their ongoing need to manage cyber threats and attacks on their internal networks. They realized that they lacked security resources to run a 24/7 security operations center. They also had limited visibility across their IT estate because they did not own the security tooling being used by their current MSSP.
THE TRANSFORMATION
Customized solutions provide new visibility and monitoring capabilities
CyberProof designed a solution around the client’s specific needs through a customized engagement model to successfully promote the solution internally and gain critical buy-in from company leadership. The solution itself provided 24/7 monitoring of the client’s IT infrastructure environment, a single pane of glass visibility into all security workflows, and progressive automation that provides guided remediation leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning. Through their partnership with CyberProof, the client gained continuous access to new and innovative security technologies as well as state-of-the-art, optimized managed security services.
THE IMPACT
Client has 24/7 SOC operations and sees massive reduction in security threats
The client has now adopted a fully managed, 24/7 security operations center service and gained best-practice design of all security procedures and incident response playbooks. They have the capability to scale as needed using their cloud-native security information and event management (SIEM) solution. They have implemented more than 100 customized rules aligning with the MITRE ATT&CK framework to improve security posture earlier in the engagement lifecycle. As a result, the client has seen a 400% reduction in false-positive alerts and a 300% reduction in AMP threat level.
