GATEWATCHER & The City of Chelles
Customer story:
Deploying Network Detection and Response (NDR) in the City of Chelles
Discover the testimony of the City of Chelles, a community of 55,000 residents located in the Île-de-France region, facing the challenge of managing an extensive IT infrastructure with limited resources. Thanks to Gatewatcher’s NDR technology, they strengthened threat detection, optimized network monitoring, and improved operational efficiency, all while meeting the digital sovereignty requirements specific to the public sector.
How the City of Chelles Tackled Cyber Risk with NDR
A sovereign cybersecurity approach tailored to local authorities: extended visibility, proactive threat detection, and optimized resource management.
Challenges
With over 900 devices, 70 monitored sites, and nearly 1,100 users, the City of Chelles must secure a heterogeneous IT environment while adhering to the budgetary constraints of the public sector. The lack of specialized cybersecurity personnel, combined with a wide range of user profiles and varying levels of digital maturity, makes threat supervision and detection particularly challenging.
Solutions
Gatewatcher’s NDR platform was deployed to complement existing tools, providing cross-network visibility and detecting unusual behaviors often missed by traditional solutions. Its intuitive interface, seamless integration, and sovereign-by-design approach enabled smooth adoption within a demanding public-sector environment.
Results
The solution enabled the detection of non-compliant activities such as the use of peer-to-peer protocols, DNS requests to suspicious domains, and unused services generating unnecessary network noise. The NDR platform enhanced the IT department’s ability to prioritize alerts, fine-tune detection rules, and streamline monitoring efforts with a proactive approach.
