Case Study: Business Brain Showa achieves improved visibility and efficiency with Exabeam

Leveraging Exabeam’s Cloud-based Security Management Platform for Improved Insights and Efficiency

Business Brain Showa-Ota Inc. (BBS), a Tokyo-listed consulting and systems integration firm serving the financial sector, faced growing challenges managing and making sense of large, disparate log sets as the group expanded through M&A and shifted to widespread telework during COVID-19. Conventional SIEM options were costly and operationally complex, and BBS needed a way to use existing device logs without replacing equipment while reducing the heavy manual effort required to investigate daily alerts and insider threats.

BBS adopted Exabeam’s cloud-based SaaS SIEM and UEBA connectors to ingest existing logs, automatically link events into timelines, and score suspicious activity for quick prioritization. The solution cut reliance on specialized skills, preserved costs as log volumes grew, improved visibility into user and device behavior, and increased efficiency—helping detect insider fraud earlier and reducing analyst time to detect, triage, investigate, and respond by roughly 51%.
