Cybersecurity strengthened through SOCaaS: Empowering a Virginia Rail Company
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A Virginia-based Rail Equipment & Specialized Lifting Company, with a 35+ year history and over 200 employees across eight facilities in seven states, faced a challenging situation when targeted by a malicious spearfishing campaign. Despite promptly detecting the breach through monitoring tools, they sought additional measures to ensure comprehensive containment.
With InterVision as their Managed Service Provider, InterVision implemented a robust Security Operations Center as a Service (SOCaaS) solution, fortified by Cybersafe technology. This comprehensive solution included the immediate deployment of Endpoint Security Monitoring across 145 endpoints, later complemented by Network Security Monitoring to protect the entire network.
The results were impressive: the SOCaaS solution effectively mitigated a major breach, resulting in minimal data loss and negligible financial impact on the business. By retaining these monitoring services, the organization is now well-prepared to proactively mitigate future risks and has strengthened its overall IT security posture.
