Case Study: Norwich University enhances 24/7 threat detection and response with Rapid7

Norwich University gets 10-minute MDR alerts with Rapid7

Norwich University, a sophisticated private military college and Center of Excellence in cybersecurity, faced the challenge of securing a complex and open digital environment for its students and staff with a small security team. The university struggled with the high cost and limited visibility of its previous security solutions, needing a more comprehensive and proactive approach to protect its sprawling network. They turned to the vendor Rapid7 for its Managed Threat Complete service.

Rapid7 implemented its Managed Threat Complete MDR service, supplemented by Threat Command, to provide Norwich with 24/7 monitoring and response. The solution delivered immediate and measurable results, including drastically improved response times where threats were identified and systems quarantined within 15 minutes. This gave the security team full visibility and the freedom to investigate threats comprehensively without the previous financial constraints, ensuring the university's critical mission is protected.
