Case Study: Industrial Metal Distribution Company achieves proactive security and faster threat response with Trustwave MDR

Making the Shift to Proactive Security with MDR Services

Industrial Metal Distribution Company, an Illinois-based metal supplier with $4.5B in annual revenue, faced exposed vulnerabilities after a failed penetration test and heightened board scrutiny. The company engaged Trustwave and adopted Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services to modernize security, protect intellectual property and the supply chain, and win executive buy-in for robust threat hunting and response.

Trustwave expanded server log collection, provided 24x7 advanced threat detection, elite analysts and threat hunters, and developed customized playbooks and remediation workflows. As a result, Trustwave’s MDR freed up the equivalent of “the manpower of 10 people,” enabled faster detection and isolation of threats, and let the IT team focus on business priorities like call center and network performance while reducing dwell time and accelerating response actions.
