MAD Security protects sensitive government data against advanced cyber threats

Managed security service provider cuts false positives significantly to support a fast-growing client base with network detection and response from Bricata.

MAD Security is growing extremely rapidly: we’ve increased our client base by a factor of three in just a few years, and our goal is to grow a further 400% in the next three years. We targeted an NDR solution that could scale to help us hit that growth target while keeping our analyst team lean.

Jeremy Conway, CEO, MAD Security

Challenge

  • Traditional anomaly-based intrusion detection requires significant time and effort to detect cyber threats in large or complex network environments.
  • Security analysts must rapidly evaluate data and respond quickly, but false positives consumed significant amounts of time.

Value

  • 6.5 minutes to detect and respond to cyber incidents—less than half the company’s SLA.
  • Significant reduction in false positives, saving time on investigations and improving operational efficiency.
  • Delivers rapid onboarding for new clients, enabling MAD Security to continue its fast-paced business growth.
