Case Study: Ansys extends 24×7 security coverage with Red Canary MDR and Microsoft Defender

Ansys extends security coverage 24x7 with Red Canary

Ansys, a leader in engineering simulation software, faced the challenge of scaling its high-quality security operations to provide 24x7 coverage. The cost of staffing an internal team around the clock was prohibitively expensive, and finding and retaining the necessary expertise was difficult. They sought a partner to help them derive more value from their existing Microsoft Defender E5 suite and needed a solution that could meet their high standards for detection and response. This led them to the vendor Red Canary.

Red Canary provided its MDR service, which integrated deeply with Ansys' Microsoft Defender tools. The solution processed telemetry to reduce alert fatigue by filtering out noise and surfacing only the most critical threats. Red Canary's automated response playbooks and experienced team enabled fast, precise reactions to incidents. The partnership gave Ansys maximum visibility into global cyber threats and allowed their skilled internal team to focus on high-priority actions, effectively operationalizing their Microsoft investment and extending their security coverage to 24x7.
