Case Study: Leading Midwestern Energy Company strengthens cyber defense with IronNet Collective Defense

Closing the cyber talent gap with Collective Defense

Leading Midwestern Energy Company, a large Midwest utility serving more than 1.6 million customers, was struggling with the global cybersecurity talent shortage and the strain of relying on a relatively small SOC. To strengthen its in-house team, the company turned to IronNet Cybersecurity and its Collective Defense platform, including IronDome and IronDefense, to supplement limited staff and improve threat visibility.

IronNet Cybersecurity implemented real-time threat sharing, behavioral analytics, and expert analysis to help the customer detect unknown threats, reduce false positives, and respond faster through its existing SOAR platform. As a result, the energy company increased threat visibility, optimized its cybersecurity investments, detected malicious and unexpected threats that might otherwise have been missed, and improved collaboration across the energy sector, while easing the burden on its overloaded SOC.
