A major data center responsible for critical infrastructure operations was drowning in its own data. With petabytes of network and host traffic flowing through its systems daily, their existing detection tools simply couldn't keep up.
Case Study · Major Data Center
From 24-Hour Delays to 1-Hour Detections
See how Insane Cyber used the Valkyrie platform and Corvus services to overcome massive data volume challenges and deliver near-real-time detections.
"With help from Insane Cyber, we finally had the speed and scale to stay ahead of threats, not just react to them."
— Lead Analyst, Major Data CenterThe Challenge
- 24-hour detection delay due to overwhelming data throughput
- Hundreds of millions of connections per day, beyond the scale of most tools
- One-size-fits-all solutions couldn't adapt to their complex environment
The result? A well-resourced, highly capable security team operating with incomplete visibility, stale data, and limited control.
They needed more than a platform, they needed a partner who could scale, adapt, and deliver speed.
The Insane Cyber Solution: Precision Meets Scale
To address the data center's visibility and detection issues, Insane Cyber deployed a dual-force strategy.
Valkyrie Platform
High-volume data ingestion, analysis, and visualization built to keep up with petabyte-scale traffic.
Corvus Services Team
Expert guidance, custom rule creation, and hands-on optimization from analysts who know the environment.
This combination allowed us to rapidly adapt to the client's environment, process complex data flows, and accelerate detection without compromising accuracy.
Enhanced Data Ingestion & Visualization — most tools couldn't keep up with the volume. Valkyrie was built for it.
Custom Detection Rules Tailored to the Environment — no cookie-cutter rules here. Our Corvus analysts built bespoke detections that matched the client's operational realities.
24 Hours
1 Hour
Dramatic reduction in detection time, powered by Valkyrie's processing pipeline and Corvus-led optimization.
The Outcome
Comprehensive Visibility
The client's analysts now had a unified, real-time view of all critical network and host data, eliminating blind spots that once delayed decision-making. With Valkyrie's centralized platform, they could pivot from reactive to proactive threat hunting.
Accurate Detections, Tailored to Their Environment
Using behavioral baselining and custom-built detection rules, our team created a highly tuned threat detection framework. This ensured alerts were relevant, actionable, and specific to the data center's infrastructure, no more noise, no more false positives.
Faster Response Times, Reduced Risk
With detection delays slashed from 24 hours to just 1 hour, the client could act on threats before they escalated. This new speed significantly reduced dwell time, improved overall security posture, and enabled the SOC team to prioritize and contain threats faster than ever before.
