OUR CLIENT

This European chemical company has operations all over the world and employs more than 10,000 people. With multiple business units, the company focuses on care chemicals, absorbents, additives, and catalysts while addressing energy efficiency, renewable raw materials, emission-free mobility, and conserving finite resources.

THE CHALLENGE

Enhancing security incident management to ensure business continuity

The client was looking for a strategic cybersecurity partner to provide comprehensive 24/7 monitoring of security operations, accelerate the organization’s detection and response capabilities, and help mitigate the business impact of potential cyberattacks.
