Case Study: a leading government authority accelerates SOC operations with Cognyte Luminar

Accelerating Government SOC Operations with Luminar

A leading government authority responsible for airport, land terminal, and border control security faced significant challenges in its Security Operations Center (SOC). With a shortage of resources and staff, the SOC struggled to proactively identify and prioritize sophisticated threats targeting its IT, OT, and physical security systems from advanced adversaries operating on the dark web. To gain critical visibility, they turned to Cognyte and implemented its Luminar cyber threat intelligence platform.

Cognyte's Luminar solution provided extensive dark web monitoring and analytics-driven intelligence, which immediately uncovered exposed employee credentials and a bot marketplace sale involving the authority’s domains. This enabled the SOC to launch password resets and investigate a potential breach, preventing spear-phishing and other attacks. The ongoing intelligence from Cognyte fine-tunes threat hunting, improves vulnerability prioritization, and accelerates incident response, significantly enhancing the organization's overall cyber resilience and positioning its SOC as an industry leader.
