Case Study: Ictivity strengthens cybersecurity visibility and response with WithSecure Elements EDR

How a WithSecure partner realized that the human element of cyber security was driving the need for Endpoint Detection and Response

Ictivity, an IT services company based in the Netherlands, realized that traditional Endpoint Protection (EPP) was no longer sufficient against sophisticated cyber attacks that leverage human hackers. This challenge, exemplified by an incident where a hacker created a hidden admin account, drove their need for a more advanced solution from their vendor, WithSecure.

WithSecure provided its Elements Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution, which offered the real-time visibility necessary to detect and respond to such human-driven threats. The implementation was a significant success; by leveraging their trusted advisor relationship with WithSecure, Ictivity seamlessly converted their customer base, activating 7,500 EDR licenses within months. This strengthened their security portfolio and positioned them to expand into new areas like vulnerability and cloud protection.
