Around-the-clock cybersecurity: How Addison Group built a global cyber defense team in days
A cybersecurity intelligence company headquartered in the Northeastern region of the US needed to strengthen its ability to detect and respond to threats in real-time before the US workday even began.
Challenge
Addison Group’s relationship with the client began with initially building their US team, requiring a team of contractors to develop a new customer-facing value dashboard to detect real-time cybersecurity threats. This necessitated building a pod of five IT professionals. This included a program manager, front-end, and back-end engineers, based out of their US headquarters.
After successfully delivering teams in the US, the client now faced an additional challenge: monitoring threats beyond US working hours. They turned to us to help acquire critical cybersecurity talent in the UK.
Solution
To implement comprehensive 24/7 coverage, the client sought specialized overseas talent to address threats and malicious activity before the US workday began. By sourcing this talent globally, the client could ensure protection at all hours of the day without overwhelming their US team.
Addison Group’s Global Excellence Center (GEC) — a strategic hub designed to help clients worldwide achieve faster, more efficient, and more scalable results — partnered with the client’s Director of Managed Services to place a team of cybersecurity professionals in London. The GEC worked quickly and identified top candidates within a week of the initial request.
Results
- Established round-the-clock cybersecurity monitoring and threat response
- Delivered qualified overseas candidates within one week
- Reduced workload and burnout risk for US-based teams
- Achieved 100% conversion of placed candidates to full-time employees
