Case Study: Central Europe's Leading Electricity Company achieves unprecedented real-time visibility and faster threat detection with ExtraHop Reveal(x)

Major European Power Producer Builds Its Security Operations Centre Around ExtraHop Reveal(x)

A major Central European electricity provider undertook a cybersecurity review after penetration testing revealed gaps across its distributed security functions. Charged with protecting both operational technology (OT) and enterprise systems, the company needed to consolidate disparate controls into a centralized Security Operations Centre (SOC) and improve detection of sophisticated, often encrypted, threats while fitting into existing workflows.

After an eight-week proof of concept the utility selected ExtraHop Reveal(x) as the SOC’s core NDR platform. Reveal(x) delivered real‑time, application‑layer visibility — including SSL/TLS 1.3 traffic insights without breaking privacy — and integrated with the SIEM and Jira ITSM for streamlined incident handling. The result was faster, more accurate detections (uncovering unsecured servers and hidden anomalies), quicker response times, and rapid adoption across teams as the SOC is scaled up with training, dashboards, and further integrations.
