The Client<\/h2>\n

Bright Software is a leading payroll and people management software provider, supporting thousands of organisations across Ireland and the UK. As a trusted SaaS provider, Bright processes highly sensitive employee and payroll data on behalf of its customers, making security, resilience, and trust central to its business operations.<\/p>\n \n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As Bright continued to scale its platform and customer base, protecting endpoints across its internal environment became increasingly critical. The organisation required a modern endpoint protection solution that could deliver strong threat prevention, rapid detection, and minimal operational overhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a highly skilled internal IT team focused on product development and customer delivery, Bright needed a solution that was both powerful and easy to manage, while also meeting the security expectations of customers operating in regulated environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CWSI worked closely with Bright Software to design and deliver a modern endpoint protection solution using SentinelOne. The engagement focused on deploying a platform that combined prevention, detection, and response in a single lightweight agent, while simplifying day-to-day security operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CWSI led the rollout of SentinelOne across Bright\u2019s endpoint estate, providing configuration, deployment, and best-practice guidance to ensure the solution delivered immediate protection and long-term value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n \u201cWith SentinelOne in place, we get instant visibility of everything that\u2019s happening on the endpoint. It\u2019s lightweight, it\u2019s reliable, and it gives us confidence that our environment is protected without the overhead of managing complex tooling. Working with CWSI has made deploying SentinelOne a very smooth experience. Their knowledge and guidance gave us the confidence to choose a solution that not only protects our endpoints but also fits into how we operate \u2014 and that\u2019s been hugely beneficial for our team.\u201d <\/p>\n
