Case Study: Large Government Authority achieves complete cloud monitoring and 40x reduced SOC workload with Vectra AI Inc.'s Cognito platform

Government Authority Achieves Complete Cloud Monitoring with Vectra AI and AWS

A Government Authority in the Middle East that manages the country’s digital assets, IT systems and citizen-facing services needed to reduce breach risk, maintain regulatory compliance and gain visibility into a growing cloud footprint. The security team was overwhelmed by unprioritized alerts, poor detection of unknown threats and limited insight into AWS workloads, putting critical government systems and sensitive data at risk.

The Authority deployed Vectra AI’s Cognito platform in AWS, using sensors and VPC traffic mirroring to capture security metadata, store it in a data lake for threat hunting, and publish detections to AWS Security Hub for correlation. The integrated solution delivered full hybrid-cloud visibility, faster investigations and remediation, reduced the security team’s workload by 40x, and cut daily events to 2–3 (with 1–2 critical events).
