Case Study: Okinawa Institute of Technology achieves 3-4x improvement in security monitoring accuracy and 25% fewer false positives with Recorded Future

Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Protects Education Excellence with Security Intelligence

Okinawa Institute of Technology, a research-focused university, struggled to detect and prioritize external threats despite using an IBM Security QRadar SIEM; its security team lacked the resources and external context needed to triage the volume of SIEM alerts and respond in real time. To close these security blind spots and balance protection with a flexible research environment, the university sought a threat intelligence partner — Recorded Future — to augment its capabilities.

Recorded Future integrated its Security Intelligence Platform with OIST’s QRadar deployment to enrich and correlate SIEM offenses, automate analysis and workflows, enable proactive blocking, and support on-demand threat hunting. As a result, Recorded Future helped the university achieve a 3–4x improvement in monitoring accuracy and operational efficiency and a 25% reduction in false positive QRadar offenses, while providing detailed intelligence that improved incident response and executive-level reporting.
