Reducing Security Blind Spots and Detection Costs

Overview

A global manufacturer of paper and packaging products engaged ImagineX to evaluate the effectiveness of their logging and monitoring program. The goal was to integrate monitoring tools into broader security initiatives, identify gaps or redundancies, and provide actionable recommendations to strengthen overall security posture and operational efficiency.

Problem

• Logging and monitoring lacked alignment with best practices.

• Tools (Azure Sentinel, GreyMatter, SentinelOne, zScaler, Sumo Logic) were under-optimized.

• Redundant processes and unclear team responsibilities reduced program efficiency.

• Governance model and data flows required refinement for effectiveness.

Solution

ImagineX conducted a comprehensive assessment of the manufacturer’s logging and monitoring program. The team started by identifying target maturity levels based on industry best practices and organizational needs. Stakeholder interviews and documentation reviews, including policies, procedures, and system configurations, provided context for evaluation. Tool configuration and deployment were analyzed for optimization, and data flows were mapped to identify inefficiencies. The assessment culminated in a detailed report containing prioritized recommendations to enhance tool performance, streamline processes, clarify responsibilities, and strengthen governance across the organization.

Outcome

• Delivered a 40-page report with 38 prioritized recommendations (2 critical, 24 high, 10 medium, 2 low).

• Provided key insights across people, process, and technology for actionable prioritization.

• Optimized security tool configurations for improved detection and monitoring.

• Established a roadmap for long-term logging and monitoring maturity improvements.
