Challenge	ROSSMANN, one of the largest drugstore chains in Europe, was facing a significant challenge in identifying threats inside its network. The IT security team, led by Daniel Luttermann, was tasked with strengthening the company's security posture to catch cyberattackers at the network perimeter and within the network. Before evaluating vendors, ROSSMANN conducted a red team exercise to identify potential security weaknesses and vulnerabilities. The results of this penetration test were used to gauge vendors in the proof-of-concept (POC) testing phase. The team ultimately chose a diverse roster of solutions that included the Cognito® network detection and response (NDR) platform from Vectra®. Read More
About Customer	ROSSMANN is one of the largest drugstore chains in Europe, with more than 2,196 drugstores in Germany and another 1,892 stores in Eastern and Southeastern Europe. The company has a total of 4,088 stores and employs 56,200 people. As a major retailer, ROSSMANN's IT security team needed a solution to identify threats inside its network.

Solution	The solution chosen by ROSSMANN was the Cognito® network detection and response (NDR) platform from Vectra®. The platform uses AI to deliver real-time threat visibility and put threat details at the fingertips of the IT security team. By combining advanced machine learning techniques – including deep learning and neural networks – with always-learning behavioral models, the Cognito platform quickly and efficiently unveils hidden and unknown threats before they cause damage or steal data. The Cognito platform provides enterprise-wide visibility into hidden threat behaviors by analyzing security-enriched metadata from all network traffic – in the cloud, enterprise, authentication systems, SaaS applications like Office 365, workloads, and user and IoT devices. By automating the manual and time-consuming analysis of security events, the Cognito platform condenses months of work into minutes and significantly reduces the security analyst’s workload.
