CASE STUDY: FINANCIAL SERVICES AND TECHNOLOGY ORGANISATION

21 February 2023

Introduction

A Financial Services and Technology organisation takes a robust approach to secure its data, infrastructure, assets, and people, with stringent information security policies and procedures and a comprehensive security architecture comprising best-of-breed technical solutions.

Customer data is of paramount concern to the organisation and they are continuously improving their security maturity. Being part of a heavily regulated industry also requires the organisation to continuously monitor events on its network and detect cyber threats and anomalies.

The Solution

Sapphire has unrivalled experience with 25 years of mitigating cyber risk for some of the UK’s largest organisations. This means accessing the best possible people, processes, and technology for customers, and all are continually augmented to match a highly fluid threat landscape.

The Financial Services and Technology organisation acquired Sapphire’s Managed Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution on their Premium Service. Sapphire’s SOC team worked with the organisation to ensure that the onboarding was a seamless process and delivered successfully in the timeframe set out in the agreed project plan.

The organisation benefited from advanced threat detection within hours of the integration, knowing experienced and highly skilled analysts were monitoring activity. Internal time and resources became instantly more available as their security team no longer were required to review and investigate potential security events.
