Case Study: Government contracting company achieves comprehensive endpoint threat detection while keeping overhead low with Red Canary

Outsourcing Security in the Defense Industrial Base

Government Contracting Company, a lean onsite contractor in the Defense Industrial Base, needed advanced information security that wouldn’t significantly increase overhead or staffing. They engaged Red Canary and adopted Red Canary’s Endpoint Detection and Response solution (a managed endpoint threat detection and response service) to provide comprehensive endpoint protection without building an internal security team.

Red Canary continuously records and monitors all endpoint activity, automatically hunts for threats, and staffs a Security Operations Center to confirm incidents, remove false positives, and enable rapid response. Over 12 months Red Canary detected 20 threats that bypassed perimeter defenses (including crimeware and phishing) and removed 1,624 false positive alerts, delivering enterprise-grade detection and response at roughly the cost of one employee’s health insurance.
