How ESET EDR Transformed Cybersecurity at Overland Footwear
This Overland ESET case study highlights how the iconic footwear retailer took control of growing cybersecurity threats with a managed EDR solution. With phishing attacks on the rise and rogue devices slipping through the cracks, Overland’s IT team knew their old setup could not keep up.
Bob Kombora, Overland’s IT Manager, faced a messy outsourcing model with multiple third-party tools and vendors. He needed clarity and fast action, especially after phishing attacks escalated, foreign actors attempted brute-force attacks, and dark web reports showed compromised accounts.
Overland explored several endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions. After evaluating options like Crowdstrike, Kombora chose ESET EDR as a managed service, delivered by Chillisoft partner Advantage. ESET’s powerful insider threat detection and seamless integration made it the right fit, backed by a price point and rollout time that sealed the deal.
Advantage had the managed service live in less than a week. “Their automation-first approach made implementation quick and painless,” said Kombora. Once in place, ESET’s AI-powered tools began isolating threats automatically, cleaning compromised endpoints before attackers could act.
Jason Pimenta, Overland’s Systems Engineer, estimates the new setup saves more than 400 analyst hours per year. “The alerts, logs, and risks are now handled externally. We do not spend time chasing ghosts anymore.”
Overland’s distributed network spans 250 endpoints across retail, office, and home, which makes traditional security hard to scale. ESET’s managed service gives the company peace of mind without adding headcount. “It is great knowing our endpoints are secure and that we can act quickly,” Kombora said.
This Overland ESET case study shows how moving to a managed EDR model reduced operational stress, blocked threats faster, and let a small IT team stay focused on business growth, not firefighting.
