Case Study: FIA Tech achieves 24x7 MDR and saves 40 hours a week with Expel

FIA Tech selects Expel’s “APIs not agents” approach for 24x7 managed detection and response (MDR)

FIA Tech, a leading technology provider for the exchange traded derivative industry, needed a way to monitor the growing volume of security alerts coming from its new endpoint, SIEM, cloud, and network tools without adding more burden to its already busy tech ops team. As FIA Tech expanded after a major investment, it looked for a managed detection and response partner that could work with its existing stack, especially Carbon Black, Sumo Logic, Microsoft, and AWS.

Expel won FIA Tech over with its “APIs not agents” approach and integrated quickly via its existing tools, providing 24×7 MDR monitoring, investigation, and incident response through Expel Workbench. With Expel, FIA Tech got alerts visible in hours, reduced response time, and saved an estimated 40 work hours per week previously spent sifting through alerts, while also improving after-hours coverage and decision-making.
