Case Study: Acosta Sales & Marketing reduces user risk and cuts incident investigation time 20x with Rapid7 UserInsight

Rapid7 UserInsight Enables Acosta Sales & Marketing to Effectively Manage and Reduce User Risk for a Highly Mobile Workforce

Acosta Sales & Marketing is a national sales and marketing firm supporting major CPG retailers, with roughly 35,000 technology users and a highly mobile, geographically dispersed field workforce that relies on tablets, phones, and cloud services. That mobility created a security challenge: Acosta needed a way to gain actionable, user-centric visibility across multiple devices and cloud apps, quickly detect compromised credentials or unusual behavior, and dramatically shorten incident investigation time.

Acosta deployed Rapid7 UserInsight, a simple-to-implement, user-focused analytics solution that ties activity across devices to individual users, surfaces risky behavior and cloud usage, and speeds investigations. The platform gave the security team fast visibility into user actions, helped detect lateral movement and compromised accounts, integrated with Nexpose for vulnerability context, and cut incident investigation and reaction time by a factor of 20.
