Case Study: Telecommunications Company achieves real-time detection of hidden cyberthreats and full AWS VPC visibility with Vectra AI Inc.

Telecom Provider Relies on Vectra and AWS to Stop Hidden Cyberthreats

This multinational telecommunications provider, one of the world’s largest mobile network operators, operates across more than ten geographies and multiple AWS virtual private clouds (VPCs). Facing complex compliance requirements and gaps in visibility from endpoint detection alone—especially for IoT, BYOD and unmanaged devices—the security team needed a cloud-native solution that could monitor extensive, distributed network traffic and feed enriched data into their AWS-hosted ArcSight SIEM.

The company integrated Vectra’s AI-driven Cognito platform with AWS, deploying Vectra sensors in VPCs (using traffic mirroring and CloudWatch) and feeding precorrelated, metadata-rich detections into ArcSight. The result is complete coverage across all device types, real-time detections with host threat and certainty scores, faster incident response, improved threat hunting and more conclusive forensic investigations that help prevent data breaches.
