Case Study: Large Mining Company achieves faster, more focused threat detection and response with Vectra AI Inc.

Mining Company Experiences Increased Security Efficiency with Vectra

A global mining and metals company (5,001–10,000 employees) deployed Vectra AI to gain better visibility into detections across its manufacturing and internet perimeters at four sites (two in the UAE and two abroad). The organization needed a way to surface hidden misconfigurations, understand application behavior, monitor privileged accounts for anomalous activity, and improve threat prioritization and response with limited SOC resources.

They implemented Vectra AI (Cognito Detect) on-prem with sensors and centralized processing, which over three to four months revealed and helped correct misconfigurations, clarified application workflows, flagged privileged-account anomalies, and detected nearly all red-team activity. The platform consolidated alerts into actionable incidents, improved automated threat-hunting and triage, sped up response times and analyst focus, and delivered measurable security efficiency—while the team noted architecture/scalability and OT coverage as areas for future improvement.
