Use Case

Reduce Cybersecurity Costs


Cybersecurity spending is rising, but outcomes aren’t. Bloated toolsets, overlapping services, and overwhelming alert noise can leave security leaders with little to show for their efforts and investments. CleanINTERNET® changes that equation—helping organizations minimize complexity and dramatically reduce costs. By cutting SIEM and MSSP spend, deferring firewall upgrades, or consolidating threat intelligence feeds, enterprises can see measurable ROI—and better protection—often within months.

Callout cost reduction

Challenge

A large manufacturing company’s cybersecurity spend was outpacing results. Despite investments in SIEM, firewalls, EDR, CTI feeds, and MSSP services, the security team remained stuck in a reactive cycle.

Key Pain Points:

  • Too many tools, too much duplication
  • Bloated SIEM ingestion and storage costs
  • Escalating ecosystem costs without improved threat coverage
  • Threat intelligence feeds used forensically, not proactively
  • Burned-out analysts chasing low-fidelity alerts

Solution with CleanINTERNET®

The company replaced and streamlined key components of their security stack using CleanINTERNET Enterprise + Access—combining proactive network defense, real-time threat prevention, and expert analyst support. Benefits included:

  • SIEM Event Reduction: CleanINTERNET blocked 99% of threats at the edge—removing them from SIEM and SOC pipelines, and cutting ingest volume and storage by up to 90%.
  • Firewall Load Optimization: CleanINTERNET stopped malicious traffic upstream—simplifying firewall rules, reducing hardware and licensing costs, and deferring infrastructure upgrades.
  • Proactive Threat Intelligence Consolidation: Rather than relegating threat intelligence during incident response, CleanINTERNET delivered ready-to-use, curated, operationalized intelligence inline and without risk.
  • Mobile Security Without VPN Overhead: CleanINTERNET Access secured the company’s mobile workforce without traditional VPN infrastructure—slashing costs associated with deployment, support, and performance issues.

With CleanINTERNET, the company reduced its cybersecurity costs—and got better protection. By blocking threats before they reached the infrastructure, simplifying the security stack, and eliminating noise, CleanINTERNET performed as expected, and then some.
