The Challenge
A Fortune 200 global financial services company relied on manual processes, including excel spreadsheets, to manage more than 5,000 potential threats and determine when activity should elevate an individual to a Person of Interest (POI).
Threat identification relied on disconnected tools, static email reports, and overwhelming volumes of unactionable alerts that were disconnected from POI data and the organization's Visitor Management System (VMS).
This combination of risk issues left the company in desperate need of a platform that unified all critical historical and real-time data to gain a faster, clearer and more holistic view of situational risk and physical threats to the company.
The Solution
A unified platform for threat management and assessments
The Corporate Security team turned to Ontic to centralize threat management, investigative research, real-time alerts, and assessments in a single view. With thousands of threats managed in the platform, the team established an always-on virtual GSOC that enables faster assessments, better collaboration, and more informed decision-making.
Unified threat management
Threats, investigative research, and assessments are managed in one platform, providing a complete view of historical and real-time intelligence.
Always-on assessments
Customer service assessments and real-time alerts are surfaced in one place, helping the team quickly evaluate threats and determine next steps.
Flexible reporting
Dynamic dashboards and customizable reports provide leadership with meaningful operational metrics and security insights.
“I've found Ontic to deliver on our expectations and then some. It has automated, organized, or otherwise made our threat management program considerably more robust and agile. Ongoing enhancements and development also make Ontic a partner in our success as opposed to just a tool that solves a single problem.”
