Microchip Technology Cybersecurity Partnership with Red Canary

This case study outlines the partnership between Microchip Technology Inc. and Red Canary following a cybersecurity breach. Microchip, a Fortune 1000 manufacturer, faced significant challenges related to potential data leaks after several acquisitions. To address these issues, they engaged an incident response firm, which subsequently involved Red Canary to assist in identifying and mitigating threats. The implementation of Red Canary's services was expedited, utilizing VMware Carbon Black EDR for monitoring and containment. Rather than disconnecting from the internet, Microchip opted for a strategic containment approach, which successfully neutralized the threat actors. The collaboration has allowed Microchip to enhance its cybersecurity resilience without substantial internal investment, freeing its security team to focus on broader security initiatives. The partnership has resulted in improved threat monitoring and detection capabilities across over 30,000 endpoints, demonstrating the effectiveness of Red Canary's support in maintaining cybersecurity.
