Case Study: Global Trading Firm achieves faster threat detection and incident response with ProtectWise IDS

Global Trading Firm - Customer Case Study

The customer, a global trading firm, faced significant security challenges due to necessary exceptions in its highly restrictive IT policy. These exceptions, which included developer web access and international VPN connections to high-risk countries, created potential points of compromise that threatened its high-frequency trading operations. The firm needed a more effective intrusion detection solution than its current products provided and chose to evaluate ProtectWise.

ProtectWise provided advanced intrusion detection with near real-time alerting and retrospective analysis, which identified a zero-day threat on the very first day of the proof of concept. The solution automated and centralized the incident investigation process, saving the time of two to three full-time employees who were previously burdened with manual log analysis. This enabled the global trading firm to quickly verify its security posture and confidently confirm it was not impacted by new vulnerabilities.
