Case Study: Estes Express Lines strengthens 24/7 security operations with Expel MDR

Expel MDR strengthens security operations for Estes Express Lines

Estes Express Lines, one of North America’s largest private freight transportation companies, needed a better way to secure its nationwide operations as its network grew to more than 60,000 connected devices. After a cybersecurity incident in October 2023, the team looked for a solution that could unify security tools, improve threat detection, and support round-the-clock protection without adding headcount. They chose Expel MDR, working alongside SentinelOne EDR and guidance from GuidePoint Security.

Expel implemented its Workbench platform to correlate data across endpoint, network, identity, cloud, and other security tools, giving Estes centralized visibility and automated response. The rollout was fast, with five integrations completed in the first weekend, 80% connected within a week, and all 12 planned integrations finished within a month. Estes says Expel saves hundreds of analyst hours per year, provides 24/7 coverage, and helps the team shift from reactive monitoring to more proactive security work.
