Case Study: a real estate investment and development firm achieves faster security response and $150K in savings with Expel

Real Estate Investment and Development Firm saves $150K and cuts alert-to-fix time to minutes with Expel

A real estate investment and development firm was struggling with a high volume of security alerts, leading to a gruesome review process and significant alert fatigue for its team. Worried about potential turnover and wanting to focus on more strategic initiatives, the head of security sought a SOC-as-a-service provider. The firm chose Expel for its managed detection and response (MDR) service due to its tech-agnostic approach and seamless integration with their existing stack.

Expel implemented its 24x7 monitoring service, integrating with the firm's EDR, SIEM, and cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. The solution provided automation that drastically reduced alert-to-remediation time to minutes, eliminated millions of false positives, and fostered a strong partnership between the teams. The measurable impact included annual cost savings of $150,000 from optimizing their security signal and eliminating redundant technology.
