Case Study: Asia/Pacific Local Government achieves enhanced cyber resilience and threat visibility with Trustwave and Microsoft Defender

Trustwave Boosts Local Government Agency's Security with Microsoft

Local Government, a public-sector agency in the Asia/Pacific region, faced limited visibility into cyber risk from its incumbent security stack and needed a Microsoft-licensed solution to protect its widely interconnected systems and sensitive personal data. Trustwave was engaged to address these gaps and transition the organization toward a Microsoft-centric security platform.

Trustwave implemented Managed Detection and Response (MDR) with Microsoft Defender, added digital forensics and incident response (DFIR), provided Information Security Advisors, and gave licensing guidance to optimize the Microsoft investment. As a result, Trustwave delivered 24/7 threat monitoring, enhanced visibility into the environment, faster incident containment, and greater SecOps capability—freeing internal resources, boosting confidence in detection/response/recovery, improving compliance, and laying a stronger foundation for future growth (with Microsoft Sentinel planned next).
