Case Study: Large Mining and Metals company achieves rapid ransomware detection, 50% faster incident response and 30-40% reduced analyst workload with Vectra AI Inc.

Vectra Reduces Analyst's Workload by 40% for Mining and Metals company

Vectra AI was deployed on‑premises at a large mining and metals company as an intrusion detection system to monitor internal network traffic and improve response to sophisticated attacks. The organization — with a lean security team and a history of a ransomware incident — needed deeper visibility beyond the internet gateway and faster, more efficient investigation and triage of threats.

Using Vectra’s Cognito platform, which applies AI/ML to correlate alerts and roll up events into incidents, the company gained fuller attack‑lifecycle visibility, reduced security analyst workload by about 30–40%, and cut incident response time roughly 50%, enabling rapid containment of ransomware. The solution proved stable with strong technical support; noted limitations include limited packet capture and reduced visibility into encrypted external traffic (addressable via the Recall add‑on) and a desire for more user documentation.
