Case Study: Leading Financial Services Company achieves 24/7 threat detection and reduced breach risk with Red Canary

Quality of Red Canary detections wins loyalty of global accounting firm

Leading Financial Services Company, a global accounting firm with 30,000+ employees and $1B+ in revenue, struggled with thousands of endpoints and a four-person security team, leaving alerts unchecked and forcing the new CISO to prove the value of the detection stack. They engaged Red Canary as an MDR partner (including 24x7x365 threat hunting and a Carbon Black integration) to bolster limited resources and improve their security operations.

Red Canary delivered continuous monitoring, automated responses, and expert detection engineering, averaging 10–15 new detections per month and helping identify and investigate over 400 incidents by the end of 2022, significantly reducing breach risk and costs while freeing the internal team for other projects. A notable Christmas Day detection by Red Canary neutralized a malicious QuickBooks‑like script and produced a reusable detection across customers, demonstrating clear, measurable impact on the company’s security posture.
