Case Study: QSight IT achieves scalable, real-time threat detection — processing up to 1M events/day with Cloudera

QSight IT mitigating risk and monitoring cybersecurity threats

QSight IT is a Dutch specialist in networking, security, storage and cloud that serves clients across finance, government, healthcare, retail and utilities. Although its teams used Big Data, ML and AI to spot threats, QSight struggled to determine the business impact and priority of security events because data was dispersed, processing was slow, and legacy vendor-locked systems lacked flexibility, scale and timely insights.

QSight deployed Hortonworks Data Platform, HDF, Apache Metron and Minifi agents to centralize and ingest diverse, high-velocity feeds, embrace an open-source model, and build scalable analytics and security tooling. The new platform lets QSight process 800k–1M events per day, deliver faster, risk-based response and prioritization, reduce licensing and maintenance costs, support IoT use cases, and expand its differentiated service offerings.
