Case Study: Muir Group achieves 24/7 threat detection and stronger security posture with Fortra's Alert Logic MDR

Alert Logic's 24/7 Monitoring Improves Muir Group's Security Posture

Muir Group, a northwest England housing association managing about 5,500 properties with roughly 130 staff, needed better, continuous visibility into its security posture. With core systems on‑premises, a largely remote workforce, Azure AD authentication and only quarterly vulnerability scans and annual pen tests, the IT team lacked 24/7 monitoring and independent oversight to detect and respond to fast‑moving threats.

Muir chose Fortra’s Alert Logic MDR for holistic on‑premises and cloud coverage, deploying agents across servers and endpoints and integrating firewall logs into Alert Logic’s SOC. The service delivers real‑time threat detection and response (a test triggered SOC contact within one minute), automated reporting for executives and cyber‑insurance needs, and has significantly improved vulnerability visibility and the organisation’s overall security posture.
