Business Need

A large E-commerce enterprise, spanning approximately 22,000 employees and serving over 450 million customers across India, faced increasing concerns about visibility gaps within its Linux based systems. These systems supported the company’s core applications and most valuable data. While some threat hunting measures existed for Windows environments, there were significant blind spots and a lack of proactive threat monitoring on Linux platforms, exposing the business to potential operational disruption.

Business Challenges

The primary challenges were:

1. Visibility Gaps on Non-Windows Devices: Internal and partner threat hunting teams focused solely on Windows infrastructure, leaving the Linux estate largely unmonitored.
2. Critical Asset Management: Linux devices hosted business-critical data and applications, and any undetected threat could directly impact operations.
3. Technology Limitations: Existing threat hunting solutions and processes did not extend to Linux, causing insufficient oversight.
4. Reporting Requirements: The client required detailed, weekly threat hunting performance reports to ensure transparency and ongoing rigor.
