+# Fintech company strengthens infrastructure visibility with Fleet
+
+A financial technology company provides payroll, benefits, and HR services to thousands of businesses.
+
+Its infrastructure includes corporate laptops, production servers, and cloud systems that must meet strict security standards.
+
+Fleet provides deep visibility into these systems and supports the company’s defense-in-depth security strategy.
+
+## At a glance
+
+* **Industry:** Fintech and payroll services
+
+* **Devices managed:** ~5,000 devices across laptops and cloud infrastructure
+
+* **Primary requirements:** osquery visibility, GitOps workflows, flexible hosting
+
+* **Previous challenge:** gaps in infrastructure visibility
+
+## The challenge
+
+The company already used several security tools, including endpoint protection platforms. However, those tools did not provide the level of query-based visibility required for deep investigations.
+
+Ephemeral cloud infrastructure also created blind spots. Security teams needed a way to verify the state of systems that might exist only briefly.
+
+## The evaluation criteria
+
+The team prioritized three capabilities:
+
+1. **Flexible hosting**  
+    Support both self-hosted and cloud deployments.
+
+2. **GitOps policy management**  
+    Manage security policies through code.
+
+3. **Advanced osquery queries**  
+    Enable deep security investigations across the fleet.
+
+## The solution
+
+Fleet provides a direct view into system state using osquery telemetry.
+
+Security teams use live and scheduled queries to detect vulnerabilities, investigate incidents, and verify compliance across the environment.
+
+Fleet also integrates with internal tools such as Slack and identity providers to automate incident response workflows.
+
+## The results
+
+Fleet improved the company’s ability to monitor and respond to security events.
+
+* **Faster investigations:** Security teams can run complex queries across thousands of systems.
+
+* **Improved infrastructure visibility:** Both laptops and cloud instances are monitored consistently.
+
+* **Automated security workflows:** Integrations with internal systems accelerate incident response.
+
+## Why they recommend Fleet
+
+Fleet gives the team a reliable view of their infrastructure. By combining deep telemetry with automation, Fleet helps the company maintain strong security while supporting a fast-moving engineering environment.
+
