- Ability to report key metrics to the Board.
The Solution:
Deployment of Cortex XDR and a SOC to save costs, effectively detect & respond & gain better reporting.
Business Benefits:
- Increased visibility through constant cloud, identity, network, and endpoint monitoring.
- Deployment of Managed Incident Response, Threat containment and remediation.
- Defined Service Level Objectives (MTTD < 1 min, MTTR <60 mins).
- Reduced false positives by drawing upon detailed data enrichment for context and decision-making.
- Built cyber-resilience and Security Posture Optimisation for the NFP.
- Created security reporting & executive level security reporting.
- Overcome talent challenges - attraction, retention of scarce resources.
- Adoption of a proactive approach to cybersecurity.
- Policies are now set up to prevent as much as possible & provide the ability to detect and respond in a timely manner.
Partnering with Enablis to deploy Cortex XDR and establish a SOC isn't just about fortifying defenses—it's about empowering our organisation with continuous vigilance, centralised insight, and a fortified alliance against cyber threats to ensure visibility and a resilient operation IT.
