Enhancing Security Visibility for a Leading Asset Management Firm

The customer is a UK-based asset management company that was seeking to enhance security visibility across its hybrid infrastructure. The company was looking to gain more complete security visibility and obtain additional resources to supplement its in-house team and enable it to focus on critical security investigations. The company recognized the significant damage a data breach could pose to its reputation and its client relationships and wanted to minimize the potential risks. Mindful of its compliance responsibilities, the company also wanted to ensure that it was meeting the requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority and other regulatory bodies.

A UK-based asset management company was seeking to enhance security visibility across its hybrid infrastructure and free up its in-house team to focus on remediating rather than detecting threats. The company was looking to gain more complete security visibility and obtain additional resources to supplement its in-house team and enable it to focus on critical security investigations. The company recognized the significant damage a data breach could pose to its reputation and its client relationships and wanted to minimize the potential risks. Mindful of its compliance responsibilities, the company also wanted to ensure that it was meeting the requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority and other regulatory bodies. The company had no dedicated security team and was struggling to gain a full picture of security events across its environments. The company had previously trialled a number of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) platforms from different providers, but couldn’t achieve the outcomes it needed from them.

After unsatisfactory results from various SIEM and EDR tools, the company decided to engage a specialist provider of Managed Detection and Response. A proof of concept confirmed that Redscan’s ThreatDetect™ service was the best solution for its needs and would supply the required security outcomes. ThreatDetect provides the network and endpoint technologies, expertise and outcome-focused approach that the company needed. Redscan’s Security Operations Centre (SOC) team investigate and triage alerts 24/7/365 and provide actionable remediation advice to enable the company’s team to respond quickly and effectively to incidents. CyberOps™, Redscan’s threat management platform – included as part of ThreatDetect – has helped the company to centralise visibility as it now receives all threat notifications via one platform, rather than having to pivot across multiple technologies.

• By choosing Redscan’s Managed Detection and Response service, the business now benefits from an extended monitoring capability and additional expertise to identify and respond to security incidents faster and more effectively, 24/7/365. The company has been able to achieve more comprehensive and centralised visibility across its environments. The support provided by Redscan’s SOC team now provides peace of mind that important security events aren’t missed and that incidents are responded to swiftly and effectively. The company had previously invested in a number of security technologies but wasn’t gaining the value it needed from them. Working with Redscan has enabled it to achieve the best outcomes and achieve a better return on investment. Redscan supported the company in its goal to transition safely from private to public cloud and ensure continuity of service, as well as enabling it to monitor on-premises infrastructure and services in the cloud.
