Case Study: Sports Data Company achieves rapid AWS threat detection and visibility with Vectra AI Inc.'s Detect for AWS

Sports Data Company quickly identifies True Positive with Detect for AWS

A sports data analysis company that provides betting-odds modeling, match-fixing detection and video streaming on AWS faced growing visibility gaps across large Kubernetes clusters, EC2 hosts and S3 storage. Relying on GuardDuty left the security team with too many non‑actionable alerts and no visibility into control‑plane activity during frequent CI-driven changes, creating the risk of serious outages and data exposure.

The team deployed Vectra Detect for AWS, an AI‑driven behavioral detection tool, in about 10 minutes and immediately uncovered a critical blind spot: a migrated Kubernetes cluster had inadvertently exposed EC2 instances to the public over HTTPS. Detect also linked suspicious cross‑region activity to a single user (later identified as an internal pentest), and Instant Investigation made it quick to view historic EC2 activity that would otherwise have been missed — delivering faster, actionable visibility and stronger control‑plane defenses.
