This project achieved compliance readiness in under 90 days—without slowing development.

Challenge

The client faced strict compliance requirements, limited visibility, and a high risk of lateral movement.

Solution

ECIS implemented a zero-trust architecture in AWS GovCloud with identity-aware access and centralized logging.

Overview

Traditional monitoring focused on external threats, leaving gaps in visibility into insider behavior—one of the most difficult risks to detect and mitigate.

Solution

ECIS implemented a behavior-driven detection model:

  • Deployed user behavior analytics (UBA) across systems
  • Correlated logs across identity, endpoint, and cloud platforms
  • Established anomaly detection baselines for user activity
  • Built escalation workflows for high-risk signals

Impact

  • Detected anomalous behavior before escalation
  • Reduced false positives and alert fatigue
  • Improved SOC efficiency and response time

Why It Matters

Not all threats originate externally.
Understanding behavior is the key to detecting risk before damage occurs.

Audit Visibility

Before

  • No visibility into user behavior
  • Reactive investigations after incidents
  • High alert noise with low signal

After

  • User behavior analytics across systems
  • Proactive anomaly detection
  • High-confidence alerting with reduced noise
