About The Customer
The customer is a company with over 1,600 employees, operating in the United States. The company had previously experienced a ransomware attack, which had the potential to shut down production. The company is described as having a lean team, indicating a need for efficient and effective solutions to manage their network security. The company uses Vectra AI primarily as an intrusion detection system to monitor network traffic.
The Challenge
The company was in need of an intrusion detection system to monitor traffic within their network. They had previously experienced a ransomware event, which Vectra AI was able to quickly detect and alert on, greatly reducing the time it took for the company to respond to the incident. However, the company was looking for a solution that could provide a fuller picture of what was going on before the target left the network, and also triage threats and correlate them with compromised host devices to further reduce the time to respond to incidents.
The Solution
The company implemented Vectra AI as an intrusion detection system. Vectra AI uses AI and machine learning to correlate alerts and detect abnormal behavior from hosts. This feature is particularly valuable to the company as it reduces the workload on their lean team by performing tasks that would otherwise have to be done manually. Vectra AI also triages threats and correlates them with compromised host devices, which helps to reduce the time to respond to incidents. Additionally, Vectra AI is capable of capturing network metadata at scale and enriching it with security information.

Sawback IT and Datto Save Client From a Costly Mistake
Ballistic Echo, a software development house, faced a critical challenge when human error led to the deletion of thousands of lines of unique code. This incident occurred before the code was pushed to source control, resulting in significant loss of time, revenue, and work. The previous file-level backup solution they used was slow and inefficient, making it nearly impossible to manually recreate the lost work. The need for a more reliable and efficient business continuity solution became evident to avoid such disasters in the future.

Zapier Aggregates Multiple Analytics in a Single Dashboard with the New Relic Platform
Zapier, a company that enables non-technical users to push data between hundreds of web applications, was facing a challenge in automating and provisioning servers for optimal performance. The company's environment consisted of 50 Linux servers on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a Django application split across several servers, and a backend consisting of a dynamic number of celery task workers fed by messages published to a RabbitMQ cluster. They also maintained a number of internal web services on nginx in front of Gunicorn and Node.js processes. Redis handled simple key and value stores, with logging handled by Graylog2 and ElasticSearch. However, they realized that no level of automation would be sufficient without an effective monitoring solution in place. They needed a tool that could provide immediate alerts when something was breaking and could be easily implemented into their environment.

Pipeline Insight Case Study: YARCDATA
YarcData faced challenges in determining the conversion rates of prospects into customers through various marketing efforts and identifying the source of its leads. They wanted to know the percentage of opportunities in the sales pipeline that came from different marketing events, web downloads, or self-sourced sales opportunities. Additionally, they needed the ability to drill down into the data to guide where to allocate more marketing dollars based on the success of previous efforts. Previously, YarcData relied heavily on spreadsheets and Salesforce.com reports, which made it difficult to extract the exact information they needed. This reliance on spreadsheets represented about 70% of their data presentation.
