The Story of Our Customer

Founded in 2019 and based in Scottsville, Virginia, our client provides a full suite of enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions to protect users against internal and external cyber threats. As an emerging player in the market, the client manages enterprise security and offers technical support to customers. The client approached Flatworld EDGE via our website, seeking to develop their SIEM tool and handle the complexities of a new legacy app acquisition that required an experienced Security Operations Center (SoC) to deliver technical support services to their users.

The Challenge

The client recently acquired a legacy app that required a skilled team to manage and deploy effectively. Having spent a considerable sum maintaining their security teams, the client found the efficacy of their Security Operation Center (SoC) to be below par, while the availability of technical talent to handle their customer-facing operations dwindled. The client required technical expertise to develop their SIEM tool and equip a specialized security team to handle the workload while ensuring that managing the security experts was cost-effective and that they were knowledgeable in handling the technology. Besides maintaining the SIEM system, the team was responsible for delivering efficient support services through a comprehensive SoC for the client to maintain their systems and retain the market’s trust.

Some key challenges observed were:

Lack of technical exposure and skilled talent to maintain the core technology of the SIEM tool’s deployment
Inefficient performance of security teams while handling the requests of users and offering technical support
Considerable expenses to maintain the SoC and lacking skilled experts to develop the SIEM platform and its tools

Our strategy, TAT and footprint in the global market was a decisive factor that influenced the onboarding of the client.

Our Solution
