Case Study: First Financial Bank achieves unified 24x7 threat visibility and $50,000 annual savings with LogRhythm

First Financial Bank Unifies Threat Data and Streamlines Response

First Financial Bank, a community-focused banking institution with 69 Texas locations, about 1,400 employees and more than $7.5 billion in assets, struggled with fragmented security tools after a new CISO inherited more than 15 siloed systems. The disjointed environment and a difficult-to-query Splunk deployment left the team without clear, timely visibility into incidents, creating risk to customer relationships and operations.

By consolidating on LogRhythm, First Financial gained a single-pane view with automated detection, customizable dashboards and faster investigations. The platform surfaced operational issues (preventing a branch outage), enabled rapid response to a brute-force attack on an executive’s Office 365 account, streamlined analyst workflows, delivered 24x7 visibility, and reduced costs by about $50,000 per year versus Splunk.
