A small defense contractor found themselves dedicating a significant portion of their time and resources to staying abreast of the latest regulations and ensuring compliance, specifically with DFARS and CMMC. The task was daunting, as the regulatory landscape is not static but constantly evolving, with new rules and guidelines frequently introduced. 

This constant race to stay updated and compliant diverted valuable resources from their core business operations. They needed a solution that would allow them to meet their compliance obligations without compromising their ability to focus on their primary mission.

Case Study: Large Government Contractor Reduces Risk with Managed Detection and Response 

A large contractor found themselves facing an escalating number of sophisticated cyber threats. The nature of their work made them a prime target for cybercriminals, and they were witnessing an alarming uptick in the complexity and frequency of attacks on their network.
