The challenge
BSC Group is a leading consultancy firm providing engineering, ecology, and environmental services, with a complex IT environment that has to protect sensitive data and stay compliant with industry regulations. Facing increasing threats and more stringent cyber-insurance requirements, the firm had already put basic measures in place — two-factor authentication and CrowdStrike Falcon — but recognized that a comprehensive SIEM was necessary to improve visibility into potential threats and ensure compliance.
The approach
After attending a presentation by Vijilan at the Falcon conference and consulting with other vendors, BSC Group chose to integrate Vijilan's SIEM services with CrowdStrike's LogScale platform, selected for its high performance in managing and analyzing log data and its compatibility with the CrowdStrike Falcon tooling already in place.
Vijilan provided continuous real-time monitoring of BSC Group's infrastructure with customizable alerting — from everyday activities like password changes and domain additions up to significant security events — and rapid notification paths for compromised credentials or unauthorized access. Onboarding was hands-on, including secure credential management and expert guidance on system configuration.
The outcome
The implementation ran with minimal disruption to BSC Group's operations, with Vijilan's team taking the lead on most aspects while BSC's IT staff, led by Scott Wesson (Manager of Information Systems) and Scott Wilson (IT Director), handled concurrent IT projects. The SIEM now gives the firm a consolidated view of its security landscape, a significantly modernized security framework, and a proactive posture that keeps it ahead of threats and in compliance with cyber-insurance requirements.
BSC Group has expressed interest in ongoing collaboration with Vijilan, including exploring new integrations such as a potential connector for their cloud file system, Ignite, before considering further advancements like Next-Gen SIEM.
"The implementation process was painless, and the support from Vijilan has been outstanding. We now have the visibility and control we need to protect our infrastructure. I highly recommend Vijilan to any organization looking to enhance their cybersecurity."
