Case Study: BuzzFeed achieves GSOC cost savings and improved efficiency with HiveWatch

BuzzFeed cuts GSOC costs by $300k-400k a year with HiveWatch

BuzzFeed's security team faced a significant challenge when the COVID-19 pandemic forced a shift to remote work, needing to protect physical assets with a mostly vacant headquarters. Their overstaffed, on-premises Global Security Operations Center (GSOC), which had previously handled high volumes of alarms and emails, no longer made financial sense. They turned to HiveWatch for a solution.

By implementing HiveWatch, BuzzFeed transitioned from its costly in-house GSOC to a more efficient model. This switch resulted in substantial annual savings of $300,000-$400,000 and allowed the small security team to focus on more strategic projects. HiveWatch provided a scalable solution that maximized resources without compromising on security.
