Case Study: Data Meaning achieves faster breach containment and significant cost savings with Alteryx

A Cyber Defense with the Alteryx Platform

Data Meaning, led by Senior Manager Andrew Kim, used the Alteryx platform to tackle the growing and costly risk of internal data breaches. With breaches increasingly common and the average time to containment around 253 days, the company needed a way to better detect, prevent and respond to abnormal activity before breaches escalated.

Using the full Alteryx stack (Designer, Server, Connect and Promote), Data Meaning blended metadata and logs to establish baselines of normal activity, surface dark spots in files and code, and triage anomalies for faster containment. The in‑house solution proved cost‑effective: estimated costs are ~$148 per record and ~$3.8M per breach, and reducing containment to under 30 days can cut breach costs by roughly 50%—making faster detection and an Alteryx license potentially worth millions.
