Case Study: Agile Defense achieves rapid threat detection, containment, and remediation for a high-profile DoD agency with Lastline Defender

Agile Defense Protects High-Profile Department of Defense Agency with Lastline Defender Suite

Agile Defense, an IT services provider serving U.S. government customers including a high-profile Department of Defense agency, faced the challenge of protecting extensive unclassified infrastructure and public-facing servers from sophisticated attacks while preventing lateral movement and rapidly identifying unknown threats. A designated security manager was responsible for closing gaps across compliance, 24/7 SOC operations and cyber engineering to ensure any breach could be isolated and its full lifecycle understood.

Agile Defense deployed the Lastline Defender suite to inspect email and network traffic, perform deep file and CPU-level analysis, and feed alerts into the agency’s SIEM. The solution delivered clear visibility into root cause and lateral movement, simplified analyst workflows, and enabled containment and remediation in minutes (typically 10–15 minutes versus hours), improving accuracy and overall threat response.
