ISSUE: Escalating IT and cybersecurity costs with limited return on risk reduction.

SOLUTION: UncommonX delivered immediate visibility and cost optimization, enabling over $500,000 in savings while strengthening security and operational performance.

Challenge:

Despite heavy investment in tools, applications, and services, a regional gaming resort faced rising IT and cybersecurity costs due to a fragmented environment. Like many organizations, their effort to build resilience led to overlapping technologies, underused licenses, and siloed deployments, ultimately driving up costs, reducing IT efficiency, and increasing cyber risk exposure.

Solution:

UncommonX used its patented, agentless discovery application to assess the client’s cybersecurity and IT environments, delivering full visibility into assets, applications, traffic, and security controls. The evaluation focused on EDR tools and licensing, firewall capacity and configuration, Microsoft and SaaS licensing, and ISP bandwidth and cost optimization.

Results:

Within just 60 days, UncommonX uncovered and enabled over $500,000 in annual savings, resulting in a nearly 20% reduction in IT and cybersecurity spending. At the same time, the client saw improvements in cybersecurity posture, IT visibility, and operational efficiency. While many organizations increase spending without reducing risk, this client achieved both meaningful savings and stronger security with UncommonX.
