Case Study: United States Defense Industrial Base Organization achieves rapid detection and removal of advanced endpoint threats with Red Canary

Closing Critical Gaps in the Defense Industrial Base

The United States Defense Industrial Base Organization, a midsize U.S. defense contractor, experienced a targeted breach that bypassed its existing security stack and highlighted gaps in endpoint visibility. Seeking continuous monitoring and accurate detection of advanced attacks, the organization engaged Red Canary for comprehensive endpoint detection and response across its unclassified endpoints.

Red Canary deployed its EDR service to monitor endpoints, detect threats, and enable rapid response, helping the organization expel attackers before they became full breaches. Over 12 months Red Canary detected 80+ threats that bypassed other tools, eliminated about 3,400 false positives per 100 endpoints, and delivered protection at roughly one-third the cost of a single security engineer—producing a positive ROI while reducing workload on internal staff.
