The challenge

Nutanix needed to automate security control decisions against a growing volume of phishing, malware, and account takeover attacks. Existing orchestration improved response, but prevention remained difficult. The team wanted to proactively harden its existing security tools, yet limited time and competing priorities made consistent execution challenging.

The Solution

Automating control hardening with live threat data

Reach translated Nutanix-specific threat data, sandbox forensics, user privileges, and product configurations into preventative controls across its security stack. By showing what was reaching users, who was being targeted, and which attacks existing tools could prevent, Reach delivered prescriptive recommendations, deployment guides, and pre-packaged change tickets that made proactive control hardening easier to operationalize.

"Reach's platform doesn’t just protect our infrastructure — it empowers our team to do more. By reducing manual intervention and increasing visibility, we can focus on what we do best: delivering exceptional value to our customers".

Maximizing security investments with measurable results

Reach exposed underused features and hidden blind spots across Nutanix’s existing tools, then tracked configuration changes and improvements over time. The team could quantify attacks delivered, attacks preventable, and cross-stack effectiveness, improving collaboration with IT Operations and giving leadership clearer evidence that security investments were being fully utilized.

Reach

The Story Continues

After measuring and deploying new capabilities in its first month, Nutanix plans to continue automating control-hardening decisions with Reach. The partnership will focus on maximizing existing security investments through practical, environment-specific recommendations that reduce blind spots, improve prevention, and strengthen security effectiveness over time.

"Before Reach, we were constantly reacting to threats as they emerged, which drained resources and slowed our ability to innovate. With Reach, we’ve gained a proactive, data-driven solution that not only identifies threats early but also provides clear, actionable insights on how to address them."
