Can you share a recent case study that highlights the success of your company’s solutions in achieving positive results?

A prominent airline carrier, committed to offering air travel to millions of passengers both domestically and internationally, encountered a significant challenge: managing its numerous and distributed logging points across various IT systems. The lack of centralized log management resulted in inefficiencies in monitoring, detecting, and responding to potential security threats. The airline required a solution to consolidate these fragmented logging points into a single, centralized location.

After a thorough assessment of various options and considering the customer's requirements, Techjockey proposed the implementation of the NetWitness Platform, an advanced Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system designed for effective threat detection.

By collaborating with Techjockey and deploying this solution, the airline achieved enhanced control, correlation, and visibility across its security operations. The capabilities of the solution led to improved threat detection, more efficient incident response, and a strengthened cybersecurity posture for the airline’s critical IT infrastructure.
