As one of the largest retailers in Germany, ROSSMANN’s IT security team needed a solution to identify threats inside its network.
Challenge
Needed a way to identify threat behaviors and decryption without deep packet inspection
Selection criteria
A network-centric detection and response solution that captures security-centric metadata to identify threats without prying into payload or contents of traffic
Results
ROSSMANN, one of Europe's largest drugstore chains, faced the challenge of strengthening its security posture to identify cyber threats within its network while adhering to strict data protection laws, requiring a solution that avoids the operational burden of open-source tools and signature-based intrusion detection.
To address these challenges, the ROSSMANN IT security team selected Vectra's network detection and response (NDR) platform, leveraging AI-driven Threat Certainty Index™ and GDPR-compliant security-enriched metadata extraction to automate threat detection without compromising data privacy.
The Vectra AI platform demonstrated a speedy time-to-value, automating the hunt for cyberattackers, reducing noise, and providing a strong threat signal, ultimately saving time for the IT security team. The platform's ease of use, automation, and ability to quickly expose red team behaviors allowed for efficient response and mitigation of real threats, enhancing the overall security posture of ROSSMANN.
“Vectra offers protection without prying. Instead of looking at the payload or contents of traffic, it only captures the security-centric metadata to identify threats.”
“It sends a strong, high-fidelity threat signal, there’s no noise, and no alert fatigue. If a critical detection appears in the dashboard of the Cognito UI, we know it’s worthy of our attention.”
