Case Study: a major European airline improves visibility and speeds threat response with Expel MDR

Expel uplevels visibility and modernises detection and response for international airline

A major European airline company partnered with Expel to improve its security operations after its lean cybersecurity team found its existing SIEM-based approach wasn’t providing enough visibility, was generating too much noise, and forced the team to spend hours re-triaging alerts. With ransomware and protection of passenger data among its biggest concerns, the airline needed better detection and response across its on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments.

Expel delivered managed detection and response (MDR) with integrations across the airline’s security stack, custom detection rules to cut false positives, and collaboration through Expel Workbench and Slack. The result was a single pane of glass with better-quality alerts, stronger incident response, and significant time savings—saving the team hours every day. Expel also helped the airline get more value from its existing tools and better prepare for future growth in travel demand.
