The Challenge
The company was in need of an intrusion detection system to monitor traffic within their network. They had previously experienced a ransomware event, which Vectra AI was able to quickly detect and alert on, greatly reducing the time it took for the company to respond to the incident. However, the company was looking for a solution that could provide a fuller picture of what was going on before the target left the network, and also triage threats and correlate them with compromised host devices to further reduce the time to respond to incidents.
About The Customer
The customer is a company with over 1,600 employees, operating in the United States. The company had previously experienced a ransomware attack, which had the potential to shut down production. The company is described as having a lean team, indicating a need for efficient and effective solutions to manage their network security. The company uses Vectra AI primarily as an intrusion detection system to monitor network traffic.
The Solution
The company implemented Vectra AI as an intrusion detection system. Vectra AI uses AI and machine learning to correlate alerts and detect abnormal behavior from hosts. This feature is particularly valuable to the company as it reduces the workload on their lean team by performing tasks that would otherwise have to be done manually. Vectra AI also triages threats and correlates them with compromised host devices, which helps to reduce the time to respond to incidents. Additionally, Vectra AI is capable of capturing network metadata at scale and enriching it with security information.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
