&samhoud protects data and systems with DEFION's 24/7 Security Operations Center
"DEFION's Security Operations Center gives us peace of mind that we are continuously in control. You can tell that highly skilled people are working there — not only detecting issues, but also thinking along with us about improvements. That inspires confidence, including towards our clients who have high security expectations."
Challenge
&samhoud is a strategic consultancy firm that advises and guides clients on vision and strategy development, digital and AI transformations, and leadership and team development. The company serves both international and national clients, including banks and insurers — meaning sensitive data is handled every day.
With the growing use of AI and increasing security risks involving phishing and passwords, the company wanted to strengthen its professional incident detection and prevention capabilities.
Solution
Together with DEFION, &samhoud selected a Security Operations service that monitors log sources from the IT environment 24/7. This ensures that suspicious activities — such as phishing or login attempts using compromised passwords — are identified and acted upon immediately. In addition, DEFION's security specialists continuously conduct background threat research to detect potential attacks at an early stage.
Beyond real-time monitoring, &samhoud receives a monthly update on trends and emerging threats. DEFION also provides proactive recommendations — for example on improving authentication, blocking malicious domains, or tightening Teams configurations. In the event of an incident, DEFION works closely with &samhoud's Managed Service Provider to ensure rapid clarity and a concrete action plan.
&samhoud also invests in security awareness among employees, including supplementary training and phishing simulations. With DEFION as its 24/7 security operations partner, the organization now has an additional security layer that is essential for maintaining customer trust and meeting strict compliance requirements.
