Case Study: McPherson Oil achieves greater security transparency and alert efficiency with Expel MDR

How McPherson Oil enjoys unmatched transparency with Expel

McPherson Oil, a 350-employee oil transport company with nine locations across the Southeast, struggled with alert fatigue and poor communication with its previous managed detection solution. The security team spent too much time chasing benign alerts and lacked a clear, centralized view of what was happening across its environment.

By partnering with Expel for managed threat detection and response, McPherson Oil centralized more than a dozen tools, enabled real-time API integrations, and gained direct Slack communication with Expel’s SOC team. Expel’s onboarding took just 25 minutes, and in the first year it processed 93 million security events while reducing one month’s 17 events to only two actionable tasks, giving the team better focus, clearer reporting, and stronger peace of mind.
