Case Study: Safeway achieves increased SOC productivity and cost savings with Exabeam UEBA

The Benefits of Using a User Behavior Intelligence Solution

Safeway, a national supermarket chain, needed to strengthen detection of insider threats and lateral movement across its retail network, particularly how employees interacted with point-of-sale systems. Traditional signature- and IP-based tools weren’t sufficient for the dynamic, unknown attacks the organization faced.

By deploying Exabeam’s UEBA and Advanced Analytics, Safeway could surface risky, anomalous user behavior, map incidents to responsible users, and accelerate investigations with pre-built incident timelines that helped even junior analysts. The deployment boosted SOC efficiency, produced significant cost savings through reduced headcount needs, and delivered a clear ROI.
