Case Study: Wetherby Asset Management achieves 24/7 threat detection and rapid attack blocking with eSentire Managed Detection and Response

Wetherby Asset Management - Customer Case Study

Wetherby Asset Management, a boutique registered investment advisor managing over $5 billion in assets, faced an underdeveloped information security program—outdated infrastructure, limited internal technical staff, little network visibility, and no formalized security policies—which left the firm exposed and the target of sustained attacks (including a lengthy brute force campaign on New Year’s Eve). To harden its posture, Wetherby engaged eSentire and deployed eSentire Managed Detection and Response including esNETWORK and the Managed Vulnerability Service.

eSentire implemented 24x7 MDR with a zero‑latency IPS/IDS (esNETWORK), backed by its SOC analysts and continuous Managed Vulnerability scans, restoring full network visibility and operationalizing continuous remediation. The service has identified and blocked thousands of cybersecurity events, enabled continuous vulnerability scanning after each change, and directly disrupted a sustained 12‑hour brute‑force attack on December 31, 2018 by alerting staff and blocking malicious traffic—delivering measurable threat reduction, actionable reporting, and greater executive confidence in Wetherby’s security posture.
