Daylight Transport Enhances Cybersecurity with Expel’s Managed Detection and Response

Daylight Transport, a leading transportation and logistics company, experienced rapid growth over the years, leading to an increased transition to cloud infrastructure. The company was already security-conscious, understanding the major risks facing the industry, particularly the devastating potential of a ransomware attack. However, they felt their existing Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) was too reactive and didn't provide the necessary information and visibility. They received alerts but no answers, leading to hours spent investigating these alerts. At times, a team of three employees had to work through over 1,000 alerts sent back from their MSSP each week. The MSSP also didn't provide monitoring and visibility across Daylight Transport’s environment, particularly in the cloud. To get more coverage, they would have needed to send additional logs from their Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), increasing both their MSSP and data transfer costs. As a result, the company decided it was time for a change to align with its more proactive security goals.
