Challenge	Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, a healthcare provider in North West England, was facing a significant challenge with limited visibility into malicious behaviors inside network traffic or Office 365. The trust has about 5,400 employees, more than 140 locations, and provides mental health services for 53,00 patients a year. The sheer quantity of individuals using the service increases the chance that cyber hygiene will fall by the wayside, and knowledgeable attackers will exploit human behavior to gain high-privilege access to critical business-data. Despite antivirus software, a LogPoint SIEM and next-generation firewalls, network detection and response (NDR) had been on the radar for quite some time. Read More
About Customer	Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust is a healthcare provider based in North West England. The trust has about 5,400 employees and operates from more than 140 locations. It provides mental health services for 53,000 patients a year. The trust uses Microsoft Office 365, which has more than 200 million monthly users, increasing the chance that cyber hygiene will fall by the wayside. The trust was looking for a solution that could provide automated threat detection to reveal hidden attacks and full network visibility. Read More
Solution	The trust chose to implement the Cognito platform from Vectra, including Cognito for Office 365. This solution ingests activity logs from multiple services like Office 365, Azure Active Directory, SharePoint, OneDrive and Exchange. With a deep understanding of Office 365 application semantics, Vectra applies AI-derived machine learning algorithms to proactively detect and respond to hidden cyberattackers before damage or theft occurs. Vectra analyzes events like logins, file creation and manipulation, data leakage protection configuration, and mailbox routing configuration and automation changes. It exposes attacker behavior patterns. Detections are correlated to accounts and prioritized based on risk, giving security professionals a complete attack narrative to respond and mitigate threats quickly.
