Case Study: a leading financial institution improves banking security and user behavior analytics with ExtraHop

a leading financial institution streams user behavior data in 4 hours with ExtraHop

A leading financial institution sought to improve security by incorporating real-time user behavior analytics into its authentication process without impacting the end-user experience. The challenge was to capture thousands of customer logins per minute across dozens of applications and stream this data to their SIEM, a task that would have created significant performance issues.

The security team implemented ExtraHop, a solution already in use by their network team. ExtraHop passively captured and streamed the required user behavior data to the SIEM with no performance impact. This resulted in faster and more accurate alerts on suspicious events, reduced data ingest bottlenecks, and enabled investigators to go from a threat alert to packet data in just three clicks.
