The Challenge

TrustNet faced a significant challenge in finding a compliance solution that could be deployed quickly and efficiently. They had previously implemented a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system, but it proved to be too expensive and difficult to maintain. This created a pressing need for a more cost-effective and user-friendly solution that could still meet their stringent requirements for threat detection, incident response, and regulatory compliance. The complexity and high costs associated with their existing SIEM system were not sustainable, prompting TrustNet to seek an alternative that could offer a unified security solution without compromising on performance or compliance standards.

The Solution

To address their challenges, TrustNet opted for the AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform. This decision was driven by several key factors, including the platform's capabilities in threat detection, incident response, and policy or regulatory compliance.
