Case Study: Municipal Property Assessment Corporation achieves full AWS visibility and stops lateral movement with Vectra AI Inc.

Municipal Property Assessment Corporation - Customer Case Study

Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC), Ontario’s property valuation and insights provider, runs a small but security-focused IT team operating primarily in AWS. Faced with cloud-scale risks and a critical blind spot around lateral movement between workloads, the team needed better visibility and faster, more accurate threat detection across their environment.

MPAC deployed Vectra Cognito Detect, using AWS VPC Traffic Mirroring to gain full visibility into Nitro-based instances and an AI-driven NDR to automate SOC prioritization and investigations. The solution uncovered lateral movement and abnormal AWS activity, improved threat triage by risk and privilege, expanded detection coverage, and gave the team confidence in responding to in-progress threats.
