Case Study

Leading Food & Beverage Manufacturer

Learn how a U.S. food manufacturer cut SIEM alerts by 99% and increased MITRE ATT&CK coverage by 40%—without adding headcount or replacing security tools.

40% increase

in MITRE ATT&CK detection coverage within just 4 weeks

99% reduction

in alert volume, from 1.4 million warnings down to 13.5K high-fidelity alerts

50,987 events tuned out

through Anvilogic’s Tuning Insights, saving analysts significant manual effort (typically ~4 hours per rule), freeing up SOC resources for higher-value activities

Security & Operational Challenges:

Limitations with their current SIEM
Isolated data streams from tools and platforms outside Sentinel
Need to improve detection coverage
Struggled with high alert volumes due to poor correlation between alerts and behaviors, leading to reliance on point tools, increasing operational costs and analyst burnout

Challenges

A global food manufacturing company was dissatisfied with the cost and functionality of Microsoft Sentinel. Their primary goal was to reduce SIEM costs by moving data off Sentinel into Azure Log Analytics. However, they faced a major challenge: Log Analytics lacks the security analytics capabilities of a SIEM, requiring them to build custom detections to maintain visibility.

At the same time, their security team was overwhelmed by disproportionately high alert volumes relative to their staffed resources, leading to inefficiencies and difficulty managing risks effectively.

Enter Anvilogic

By deploying Anvilogic Unified Detect for both Azure and Sentinel, the company was able to build and deploy detections and Threat Scenarios across Sentinel and Azure Log Analytics. Unified Detect allowed them to seamlessly integrate their existing data sources, including Proofpoint, Okta, Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, and Azure Log Analytics, enabling sophisticated detection coverage across their infrastructure.

With Anvilogic they:

Addressed data fragmentation and implemented a stronger detection engineering process
Gained control over alert volume, drastically reducing the false positives that had previously overwhelmed their analysts
Reduced SIEM costs while optimizing security operations

Today, this global manufacturer runs a leaner, smarter SOC—without adding headcount or swapping out thier existing tools. They have successfully reduced analyst fatigue, cut operational costs, and expanded their detection capabilities to strengthen their security posture while aligning with business efficiency goals.
