Case Study: Mitsui Bussan Secure Directions achieves faster threat detection and cuts incident response from weeks to hours with Splunk Enterprise

Mitsui Bussan Secure Directions, Inc. Enhances Security Posture with Faster Threat Detection and Analysist

Mitsui Bussan Secure Directions, Inc. (MBSD) is an IT risk-management and security consulting firm that operates a 24/7 SOC for customers. MBSD needed a single-pane-of-glass log collection and analysis capability because logs were scattered across vendors and systems, making it slow and difficult to detect intrusions, determine root causes, and meet auditing/SOX requirements.

MBSD deployed Splunk Enterprise to ingest and analyze logs (firewalls, proxies, AV, servers and third-party systems) — about 50 GB or 15,000 events per day — without format conversion. The platform enabled real-time correlation and automated detection, cutting incident response from weeks to hours, speeding threat analysis, improving reporting efficiency and strengthening overall security posture, with plans to expand use for SOX compliance and IT auditing.
