Case Study: a regional food manufacturer gains layered cybersecurity visibility and threat protection with VLCM

Regional Food Manufacturer stops a phishing attack with VLCM and a 24/7 layered defense

The IT director at a regional food manufacturer, operating as a one-person IT team, faced significant challenges in managing cybersecurity threats with limited tools and resources. Partnering with VLCM, they sought to strengthen their defenses without adding headcount, focusing initially on securing their email, access, and end-user behavior layers.

VLCM implemented a layered security solution featuring Barracuda for email security, KnowBe4 for user training, Microsoft Entra ID for multi-factor authentication, and Adlumin for SIEM and MDR capabilities. This strategy proved highly effective when it successfully defended against a sophisticated phishing attack, preventing any breach. The integrated tools provided comprehensive visibility and automated response, ultimately giving the IT director greater confidence and control over their security posture.
