Case Study: a wireless telecommunications company improves compliance and security with ExtraHop

Wireless Telecommunications Company discovers 650+ unregistered machines with ExtraHop

A large wireless telecommunications company faced the challenge of monitoring and securing connections from over 30,000 third-party vendors to ensure compliance and performance. They needed to eliminate a major visibility blind spot in their network. To address this, they turned to the performance management and network security analytics platform from ExtraHop.

The solution implemented by ExtraHop provided the telco with real-time, automated discovery of all network connections. This allowed the security team to independently monitor third-party behavior. Key results included discovering over 650 unregistered machines, detecting and halting the use of unencrypted Telnet traffic that risked a major data breach, and avoiding potential millions in PCI fines. ExtraHop gave the company the critical visibility needed to secure its environment and hold vendors accountable.
