Case Study: HomeAway detects missed threats and improves incident response with ProtectWise

HomeAway Feels Right at Home with ProtectWise, Detecting and Responding to Threats Every Other Solution Missed

Escapia, a vacation rental company and part of the HomeAway portfolio, faced significant challenges with its existing security infrastructure. Their system generated a high volume of low-level alerts, causing alarm fatigue for the security team, while simultaneously failing to detect serious threats and provide meaningful investigative insights. To address this, Escapia turned to ProtectWise and implemented its cloud-based platform, The ProtectWise Grid.

ProtectWise provided Escapia with real-time and retrospective threat detection, full packet capture retention, and a powerful visualization interface. The solution immediately identified malicious communications that previous tools had missed, allowing the team to respond to risks. By correlating events and prioritizing threats, ProtectWise eliminated alert fatigue and gave the security team actionable intelligence, significantly enhancing their visibility and forensic capabilities for a more complete incident response.
