About The Customer
BeyondTrust is a global leader in intelligent identity and access security, empowering organizations to protect identities, stop threats, and deliver dynamic access to empower and secure a work-from-anywhere world. BeyondTrust offers the industry’s most advanced privileged access management (PAM) solution, enabling organizations to quickly shrink their attack surface across traditional, cloud, and hybrid environments. The company is trusted by 20,000 customers, including 75 of the Fortune 100. Over the last five years, BeyondTrust has experienced exponential growth in its employee base and has also gained a more expansive network of third-party and internal solutions that called for increasingly complex integrations.
The Challenge
BeyondTrust, a global leader in intelligent identity and access security, faced a significant challenge as it expanded. The company needed to evaluate its security posture both internally and externally to understand the risks it faced. Given the high-stakes nature of BeyondTrust’s offering, they couldn’t afford a security breach that could damage the brand’s reputation and its bottom line. The company recognized the need for additional threat detection and automated remediation for assets across the world. This approach was needed to complement BeyondTrust’s own identity and access security solutions for complete coverage of on-premise and cloud assets. BeyondTrust wanted an adaptable and automated solution for faster detection and remediation to protect the company while keeping up with its rapid growth. The company initially selected and onboarded a managed detection and response (MDR) provider, but soon realized that its MDR’s slow response times and inadequate communication approach jeopardized its ability to quickly neutralize threats.
The Solution
BeyondTrust decided to partner with Expel, a provider of managed detection and response (MDR) services. Expel’s plug-and-play capabilities meant that it easily and directly integrated with BeyondTrust’s existing technology stack via APIs. If Expel doesn’t provide an out-of-the-box integration, the Expel team still finds a way to connect, as it does with BeyondTrust’s SIEM. Expel accesses security-related logs, providing the security team with the visibility needed to improve detections and contextual data relevant to specific alerts. BeyondTrust was also thrilled with Expel’s rapid response to potential threats, partially enabled by Expel’s bot Ruxie™, which adds enrichment to interesting cases and auto-remediates events that don’t require an analyst investigation. Expel’s real-time, comprehensive communication in jargon-free language keeps BeyondTrust's team in the loop without delays caused by incomplete or indecipherable data.

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

Revolutionizing Construction Equipment Rental: A Case Study on ProsRent and ENO8
ProsRent, a startup that won the 'Best Financial Opportunity' and 'Best Pitch' at CodeLaunch 2016, aimed to revolutionize the way construction professionals source and rent heavy equipment. In the construction industry, project managers and contractors typically rent heavy equipment from supply companies. However, predicting inventory can be challenging, and finding the required equipment at the right time and place can be a hassle. If the preferred vendor doesn't have the required equipment, it results in wasted time and money in searching for it, often leading to higher costs due to non-preferred rates and increased delivery costs if the vendor is located far from the job site. Suppliers, on the other hand, desired access to a wider base of trusted renters that they didn't have to vet themselves and wanted to offer dynamic rental pricing based on demand and availability in their market. ProsRent's challenge was to produce a minimum viable product that was fast and first to market but also strong enough to engender loyalty and repeat business from the target market.
