Satellites Unlimited: Shining a Light on Cyber Threats
Since 1994, Satellites Unlimited has provided DISH installation, maintenance, and repair services throughout the Southeast. While the company’s mission was to bring great television to customers, there was nothing entertaining about its current cybersecurity setup.
The Challenge: Operating in the Dark
In an environment of constantly evolving cybersecurity threats, Satellites Unlimited’s threat-detection process involved reviewing security logs only after an incident had occurred. This reactive stance meant they didn’t have visibility into what was happening on their network until after a problem occurred.
“We had no insight into what was traversing our network,” admitted Matt Simmons, IT Director,of the company. “We were operating blindly.

The Solution: A Light in the Dark
After a three-month search, Satellites Unlimited signed up for a trial of Decept10’s multi-layered security services. Within just a few days of settling up the system, they received a warning of an unknown device accessing their network. It turned out to be an employee logging in with their personal computer.
The incident demonstrated to MAtt the power of Decept10’s ability to proactively monitor and flag suspicious activity. Satellites Unlimited quickly became a Decept10 client. “I sleep better at night knowing what Decept10 is monitoring my environment,” said Matt.
