LogRhythm

Further education provider Coleg Cambria needed a single, end-to-end cyber security tool that would centralise and automate workflows, and accelerate threat qualification, investigation and response. 

“The benefits of this platform also go beyond threat detection. The platform has identified potentially dangerous holes in our existing security tools and processes.  Furthermore, we realised that when staff left the college, their accounts weren’t being deactivated in a consistent manner in line with our operating procedures. By highlighting this, LogRhythm has helped us improve our security programme significantly.”

McColl’s realised it needed to change its business payment model when its customers were increasingly choosing to pay for their goods using bank cards instead of cash. This resulted in McColl’s becoming a level one card merchant, which required the highest standard of compliance to the Payment Cards Industry (PCI) regulations.

“We were able to create a commercial strategy that worked for every McColl’s store. We were not the regular customer for security firms at the time, but LogRhythm worked with us instead of forcing us into a solution that would not be of use.” said Peter Gore, development & compliance manager at McColl’s.

By selecting LogRhythm’s NextGen SIEM Platform, which provides end-to-end threat management, the Trust has gained full visibility into its network and is able to detect potential threats in half the time it took previously.

“We did try a different vendor before the LogRhythm installation, but it was not at the level of quality that we needed. We required a solution that was more precise and thorough. A number of our partners used LogRhythm and highly recommended the solution to us, so we had that in the back of our minds when it came to finding a solution that was a better fit for us,” said Donald Andango, Information Security Specialist.
