ODEON Cinemas Group: Unified Security Across 8 Countries and 280+ Cinemas

Europe's largest cinema operator consolidated a fragmented, multi-country security operation under one provider, cutting alert volume by 98% and gaining full visibility from the cinema floor to the supplier network.

ODEON Cinemas Group runs more than 280 cinemas across eight countries, with nearly 50 different log sources feeding into its security stack. Their previous provider operated as a pass-through, forwarding alerts without tuning, investigation, or use-case development. Regional InfoSec teams were buried in noise, and threat hunting was only available as a paid add-on.

BlueVoyant started with a Security Diagnostic to confirm what ODEON's team already suspected: untuned alert logic, gaps in Microsoft Defender XDR configurations, and a legacy SIEM adding cost without proportional value. From there, BlueVoyant migrated Odeon to Microsoft Sentinel, onboarded them to MDR for Microsoft, hardened their Defender deployment, and added a DFIR retainer and Third-Party Risk Management, all through a single, European-based SOC operating 24/7.

Learn how ODEON went from fragmented, multi-country security to one team, one platform, and full control, on budget.
