Transforming Cybersecurity for the City of Phoenix
How City of Phoenix Modernized SOC Operations with MixMode.
The City of Phoenix was faced with resource constraints, complex cloud environments, and advanced nation-state threats which mirrors many industry-wide hurdles. However, they partnered with MixMode and was able to achieve significant operational improvements, including:
Immediate Time-to-Value: The platform was deployed remotely in under an hour. Within 24 hours, it detected active threats and vulnerabilities that legacy tools—and human analysts—had missed.
Cost-Neutral Modernization: The City was able to consolidate multiple expensive, ineffective legacy tools. The savings from this consolidation fully funded the new AI deployment.
Force Multiplier for SOC: The AI served as a “transformative solution” for their lean team, autonomously monitoring east-west traffic and surfacing novel threats without requiring constant manual tuning or intervention.
This highlights a shift toward self-learning AI that acts as a core intelligence layer rather than just another tool in the stack. MixMode is able to deliver such a tool.
