Case Study: Large Financial Company achieves streamlined threat detection and fewer false positives with Vectra AI Inc.

Financial Company uses Detect for O365 to Protect Network

A mid-sized financial services firm (1,001–5,000 employees) needed better visibility into user and cloud activity to detect compromises, enforce policy and meet compliance without overloading a small SOC. Their legacy IDS/SIEM approach produced huge volumes of alerts and required large effort to parse Office 365 logs, making timely detection and investigation difficult.

The firm deployed Vectra AI (Cognito Detect, Detect for Office 365 and Cognito Recall) using on‑prem sensors and a SaaS data lake. The solution delivered turnkey, behavior‑based detections and consolidated context out of the box, dramatically reducing false positives and alert volume, speeding detection from hours or longer to minutes, shifting work to Tier‑1 analysts, cutting SOC overhead and improving ROI while remaining stable, scalable and easy to deploy.
