Overview MDR + EDR for 2,000 endpoints. Sub-15-minute MTTD. Challenges 1 Insufficient visibility into east-west traffic and anomalous access patterns. 2 Legacy firewall policies and gaps in intrusion detection coverage. 3 Expanded attack surface from distributed workforce and inadequately hardened endpoints. 4 Control deficiencies relative to financial sector regulatory requirements. 5 Extended mean time to detect due to fragmented logging and absent threat correlation. Solution 1 Deployed next-generation firewalls with application-aware inspection and integrated threat intelligence. 2 Implemented network intrusion detection with automated containment playbooks. 3 Established zero-trust network access replacing legacy VPN with identity-verified connectivity. 4 Conducted gap assessment and aligned control environment to ISO 27001 requirements. 5 Established 24/7 security operations with centralized SIEM correlation and escalation procedures.
