Case Study: Colt Data Centre Services achieves unified 24/7 threat detection and response with Armor MDR (Armor)

Enterprise data centre provider strengthens cybersecurity capabilities

Colt Data Centre Services, a global provider of hyperscale and enterprise data centres operating 16 sites across Europe and APAC, faced fragmented security tooling that left teams reactive and without a single view of threats. The business needed a scalable, compliant solution with zero downtime, continuous vulnerability testing and retained control of customer data to protect highly sensitive workloads and support planned expansion.

Colt engaged Armor to deploy Armor MDR with Microsoft Sentinel and Defender on Azure, backed by a 24/7 SOC, analytics, threat intelligence feeds and an ongoing VAPT programme (with Defender for IoT being added). The unified platform delivered faster, more accurate threat detection and response, reduced alert fatigue and operational hours, prevented incidents (for example, a compromised email account), preserved compliance and data ownership, and enabled faster, low-risk expansion across multiple sites.
