Major Real Estate Firm Replaces IDS/IPS with Vectra

Challenge

Faced with the constant threat of phishing and malware, a major U.S. real estate firm with over 11,000 employees struggled with the limitations of traditional intrusion detection and prevention systems, leading to overwhelming alert noise, alert fatigue, and a lack of intelligence and context about cyberthreats.

Solution

Opting for Vectra's Network Detection and Response (NDR) platform over traditional IDS/IPS, the company embraced an AI-driven approach that eliminated alert noise, provided real-time context about threats through machine learning, and offered a comprehensive solution for detecting and responding to cyberattacks across diverse networks.

Customer benefits

Vectra's NDR platform significantly reduced the security team's workload, enabling them to focus on critical incidents by minimizing false positives. The platform's AI-driven insights and automation not only enhanced the company's ability to stay ahead of attacks but also integrated seamlessly with other security solutions, streamlining the overall security operations and making threat investigations more efficient and enjoyable.

“IDS has way too much alert noise. The performance of our IDS and IPS couldn’t keep up and was virtually unusable.”

“I immediately liked what I saw.” Unlike IDS and IPS, there were no signatures and no rules. We knew at that point the Vectra approach to AI and machine learning was the way to go.”
