Challenge	A UK-based asset management company was seeking to enhance security visibility across its hybrid infrastructure and free up its in-house team to focus on remediating rather than detecting threats.

The company recognized the significant damage a data breach could pose to its reputation and its client relationships and wanted to minimize the potential risks. Mindful of its compliance responsibilities, the company also wanted to ensure that it was meeting the requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority and other regulatory bodies. The company had no dedicated security team and was struggling to gain a full picture of security events across its environments.
