Case Study: Swedbank achieves faster, more complex investigations with Exabeam

Equipping Swedbank With the Tools to Carry Out Faster, More Complex Investigations

Swedbank, a top-100 global Nordic‑Baltic banking group serving 7.3 million retail and 546,000 corporate customers, needed to modernize security as systems became more dispersed and adversaries more sophisticated. Their legacy tools lagged in performance and couldn’t meet strategic requirements such as PCI monitoring, data loss prevention, privileged access management, and safe handling of SWIFT transactions.

Swedbank deployed Exabeam (Data Lake, Cloud Connectors, Advanced Analytics, Threat Hunter) to handle massive log volumes, enable custom rules and models, and speed threat searches and investigations. The deployment delivered greater visibility, faster intelligence searches, more complex detections, and significantly reduced triage and investigation time—allowing the team to surface incidents they previously missed and more quickly identify real users across multiple identities.
