Case Study: U.K.-Based Fixed and Mobile Telephone Company achieves stronger network security and reduced alert volumes with Ixia

Service Provider Secures Network, Blocks Threats, and Boosts Efficiency

The **U.K. Based Provider of Fixed and Mobile Telephone Company** is one of the world’s largest service providers, with more than 4.8 million subscribers and operations in over 30 countries. To protect network reliability and sensitive data without increasing budget, the security team looked to **Ixia** and its threat intelligence solution, **ThreatARMOR**, to better handle growing traffic and block known threats and data leakage.

**Ixia** deployed ThreatARMOR in passive mode, along with its Application and Threat Intelligence feed, and later planned to add Vision ONE packet brokers with ATIP to improve traffic filtering. The solution quickly identified an active data leak, helped stop it, reduced security alerts by **30%**, and is expected to cut inline appliance traffic by **15–30%**, avoiding hardware upgrades and improving overall security efficiency.
