CUSTOMER CASE STUDY WALKAROO INTERNATIONAL PVT LTD“We were constrained with limited IT resources that were hard-pressedto manage not only the IT but also security needs of the organization.
For us, it was imperative that we strengthened our security operations
to proactively protect data servers from advanced threats. Outsourcing
security operations through Sophos MTR was the ideal solution.”
Mr Sundaram M, Head IT, Walkaroo International Pvt. Ltd.

Challenges
Ì Advanced threats that could fall
through the smallest security gaps
Ì Lack of all-encompassing proactiveprotection for 35 servers
Ì Lean IT team unable to keep up
with security demands
Ì Inability to hunt for threats, ensuring
quick identification and remediation
before they became a problem

Why did Walkaroo move toa managed threat response
solution?
A security operations center (SOC) is an essential
spoke in the cybersecurity wheel but requires asecurity operations team that can utilize all thesecurity tools deployed within the business toprotect it. The IT team at Walkaroo was stretched toits limits but understood the need to build effective
security operations programs to detect, investigate
and respond to threats before they damage its
servers.

“We were looking to add threat hunting andresponse capabilities to our cybersecurity, todetect and respond to threats that can circumvent
our preventative security capabilities,” says Mr
Deepak K V, IT Infra/SAP-Basis Support, Walkaroo
International Pvt. Ltd.
For the team, the choice was simple. It had tooutsource cybersecurity operations and Sophos
Managed Threat Response was the natural choice.
