Case Study: Alnylam Pharmaceuticals achieves real-time threat detection and improved employee safety with Dataminr Pulse (Dataminr)

How Alnylam Pharmaceuticals uses Dataminr’s real-time alerting solution to ensure the safety of its employees, facilities and assets

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, a Cambridge-based RNAi therapeutics company with 2,000+ employees across 20+ countries, needed to build a modern global security operations center to protect employees, facilities and its brand. Facing thousands of manual alerts from free tools and subscriptions, the security team sought a solution that would deliver relevant, accurate and timely warnings—so Alnylam turned to Dataminr and its real-time alerting product, Dataminr Pulse.

Dataminr Pulse ingests signals from more than 800,000 public sources to surface only the most relevant, real-time alerts, reducing manual triage and enabling Alnylam’s SOC analysts to assess risks before escalation. The vendor’s alerts provide the first awareness of incidents “probably over 95% of the time,” often alerting the team 15 minutes to hours before other sources; outcomes include averting potential harm during a street crime by locking lobby doors, advance notice of tornadoes, early detection of a fire near a manufacturing site, and rapid identification of a global network outage—demonstrable improvements in employee safety, business continuity and leadership confidence thanks to Dataminr.
