Case Study: Ooredoo achieves secure, uninterrupted mega-event telecom services with NetWitness

Ooredoo - Customer Case Study

Ooredoo, a major telecommunications provider in Qatar, faced the challenge of securing its critical national infrastructure and digital services for a 2022 mega sporting event. Their goals were to provide uninterrupted connectivity to a massive global audience while preventing any security breaches and protecting customer data. To meet this challenge, they partnered with NetWitness for its endpoint detection and response (EDR) and incident response services.

The solution from NetWitness involved a dedicated, on-site team of specialists in Qatar backed by a 24/7 emergency response team in Europe. They used NetWitness EDR and NetWitness Network Detection and Response (NDR) to monitor and protect Ooredoo's endpoints and network traffic. As a result, the partnership successfully thwarted all attack attempts, achieving zero security incidents and ensuring flawless, uninterrupted service throughout the entire tournament, which helped elevate Qatar's profile as a secure host for major world events.
