Case Study: Major Financial Institution achieves rapid Microsoft-first security transformation and 24/7 co-managed Sentinel protection with Trustwave

Major Financial Institution Chooses Trustwave for Microsoft-First Security Approach

Major Financial Institution faced urgent security and vendor-control challenges: its incumbent MSSP had limited log management and alert development, hosted the bank’s IP on its platform, and couldn’t deliver the broader tooling or ownership the bank required—with a contract deadline just three weeks away. The bank engaged Trustwave to deliver a Microsoft-first security approach centered on Microsoft Sentinel, leveraging Trustwave’s MSSP expertise.

Trustwave implemented a co‑managed SOC with Sentinel, integrated all Microsoft log sources, deployed active use cases, and provided MDR for thousands of endpoints plus continual threat hunting, DFIR, onboarding and custom consultancy. Trustwave completed Phase 1 onboarding and migration on schedule (within three weeks), began 24/7/365 monitoring for IOCs, enabled the bank to retain IP ownership, consolidate infrastructure, and accelerate adoption of a Microsoft-first stack — outcomes the client credited to Trustwave and its Fusion dashboard.
