Case Study: Leading Investment Company prevents security breaches and detects fraud in real time with Striim

Leading Investment Company Looks to Streaming Analytics for Cybersecurity

Leading Investment Company, a highly ranked Forbes Global 2000 bank in EMEA, faced growing risk of security breaches across employee Windows workstations and its online trading platforms. Although the firm had deployed HP ArcSight, it was never put into production, so the company turned to Striim and its real-time data integration and streaming analytics platform to provide an enterprise-grade, production-ready security solution.

Striim implemented real-time applications to analyze Microsoft Security Event logs for failed logins, correlate VPN and trading logs to detect mismatched credentials within the 2‑hour VPN session and invalidate suspicious logins, and run AML detection using transaction/market-data thresholds; the parent company also uses Striim to detect ATM fraud (card used >10 km within 5 minutes). Striim delivers web/email/dashboard alerts and integrations (IBM BPM, reporting), enabling immediate detection and prevention of unauthorized access and fraud—far faster and more accurate than batch correlation, with measurable rules (e.g., 2‑hour VPN window and specific transaction-ratio and volume thresholds) that reduce time-to-detect and mitigate risk.
