Case Study: a US government organization enhances security and saves $700K with UnderDefense MDR

UnderDefense MDR Solution Helped US Government Organization Reduce Threat Response Time to 9 Minutes

The US Government Organization, a major US financial sector entity, faced significant cybersecurity challenges due to a small, overwhelmed internal IT team. The team of four lacked the expertise to manage alert fatigue and could not process threats outside of business hours, leaving them unable to rapidly identify or respond to risks. To address this, they partnered with UnderDefense for its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services.

UnderDefense implemented a custom SIEM with automated rules, providing 24/7 monitoring that resolved 32% of threats after hours. Their solution processed 12,500 alerts, including 1,500 critical ones, with an average response time of just nine minutes. This saved an estimated 1,000 working hours by reducing false positives and resulted in over $700,000 in savings for the client.
