Case Study: Large Financial Services Company achieves global visibility and advanced forensics with Attivo Networks' ThreatDefend platform

Major Financial Services Company Choses Deception for Visibility And Forensics

Large Financial Services Company needed better visibility across a diverse, international network to verify whether security controls were working, detect threats that had bypassed defenses, and maintain compliance in remote locations with varied regulatory constraints. After evaluating options, the company selected Attivo Networks' deception technology—deploying the ThreatDefend platform—to gain early detection, forensic insight, and scalable visibility without adding hardware to remote sites.

Attivo Networks implemented ThreatDefend using BOTsink servers for decoys, ThreatDirect to project decoys into remote locations, and ThreatStrike to plant deceptive credentials on endpoints. The deployment delivered global early threat detection, high‑fidelity actionable alerts, and adversary intelligence (TTPs and IOCs), giving the organization “eyes inside the network,” improving security‑team efficiency and forensics while requiring no additional operational resources and enabling easy, scalable management.
