PKF Melbourne, a full-service accounting firm serving national and international clients, needed to strengthen cybersecurity as it grew, handled highly sensitive financial data, and transitioned to a hybrid work model. With a complex environment of 30+ applications and requirements from the PKF network, the firm wanted to consolidate security tools and gain expert 24/7 threat detection and response without building its own SOC.

eSentire provided PKF Melbourne with its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services, including MDR for Network, Endpoint, and Log, delivering 24/7 monitoring, multi-signal visibility, and support from its SOC analysts and threat hunters. The result was around-the-clock protection with a 15-minute mean time to contain, reduced cyber risk, stronger tool consolidation, and more time for internal IT staff to focus on core work.
