Case Study: Medical Research Institute secures digital assets fast with DigitalXRAID SOC

How a Medical Research Institute were able to secure digital assets fast following a highly publicised breach

Medical Research Institute, a UK-based medical research organisation supporting Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials and providing Covid-19 testing for NHS staff, faced an urgent cyber security challenge after a highly publicised breach during the pandemic. With a diverse, dispersed hybrid cloud infrastructure and active attack pressure, the institute needed to secure its digital assets quickly, and engaged DigitalXRAID for help, including its Security Operations Centre service.

DigitalXRAID carried out a rapid impact assessment and penetration testing to determine exposure, then implemented its 24/7 SOC powered by XDR tooling within weeks. DigitalXRAID effectively became the institute’s in-house cyber security team, continuously monitoring, identifying threats and vulnerabilities, improving defenses, and supporting incident response and investigations that were reported to government agencies, helping the institute regain control and confidence.
