Case Study: Pearl Data Direct achieves stronger global network security and faster threat response with Rapid7

Pearl Data Direct Relies on the Rapid7 Insight Platform to Secure Its Global Financial Network

Pearl Data Direct manages a large, distributed global financial network across more than a dozen countries, with hundreds of locations, cloud environments, and a small security team supporting a complex IT footprint. The company needed better visibility, faster threat detection, and a way to meet banking compliance requirements while keeping security operations manageable. Pearl Data Direct turned to Rapid7 and the Rapid7 Insight Platform, including InsightIDR, InsightConnect, and InsightAppSec.

Rapid7 implemented a fast, cloud-based deployment that gave Pearl Data Direct real-time alerts, centralized investigation tools, automated response workflows, and application vulnerability scanning integrated into Azure DevOps. As a result, the team gained stronger control over endpoints and cloud activity, could block malicious IPs and hashes with one click, and enforced automated security checks before code reached production. Pearl Data Direct reported saving 11 days of work from a single InsightConnect workflow in 30 days and said the automation delivered about 30% time savings overall.
