Use Case: Securing a BFSI Enterprise with Advanced Endpoint, Email & Compliance Monitoring

📌 Client Overview:
A financial services provider in the BFSI sector serving corporate and retail finance clients. With hybrid infrastructure (cloud + on-premise) and hundreds of users handling sensitive financial data daily, security and compliance were top priorities.

🚨 Business Challenges

🧪 1. Frequent & Sophisticated Phishing Attacks

• Frequent targeting via phishing and BEC (Business Email Compromise)
• Legacy email gateways failed to detect modern spear-phishing attempts

💻 2. Inadequate Endpoint Protection

• Outdated antivirus with no behavioral or real-time analysis
• Cloud/on-prem workloads lacked monitoring and visibility

📊 3. Lack of Unified Visibility Across Systems

• No single view for endpoints, email, cloud activity, or security policy violations
• Incident response and audit processes were fragmented

⚖️ 4. Compliance Pressures
