Case Study: IG Group achieves complete network visibility and slashes MTTR by over 80% with ExtraHop Reveal(x)

IG Group Reduces MTTR with Complete Network Visibility From RevealX

IG Group, a London‑headquartered fintech founded in 1974 that operates platforms like IG.com, tastytrade and DailyFX, needed better network visibility to scale and troubleshoot performance without compromising security. The GameStop‑era trading surge highlighted gaps in wire‑data visibility that were slowing root‑cause analysis and inflating mean time to resolution (MTTR).

IG deployed ExtraHop Reveal(x), which was up and delivering value within days, providing complete north–south traffic visibility and granular performance metrics across firewalls, load balancers, and core apps. The result: previously unseen issues were uncovered, MTTR dropped by more than 80% (about ten times faster), and detections such as Log4j proved additional value to the security team as they onboard network detection and response.
