Global fashion brand Paige partnered with Xenex to replace a fragmented, multi-vendor
security model with a unified managed cybersecurity operation — achieving enterprise-grade
protection, full global visibility, and significant cost savings across its expanding international
footprint.
Project Overview
Paige is a global retail fashion brand operating stores and offices across North America, Europe,
and Asia, managing a complex digital ecosystem that spans internal servers, point-of-sale
systems, and international connectivity. Following a ransomware attack that exposed the
vulnerabilities of its legacy, multi-vendor security setup, Paige recognized the need for a
fundamentally different approach. A full migration to cloud-based infrastructure was explored
but projected to cost nearly five times more than the existing model. Paige turned to Xenex to
build a unified, always-on managed cybersecurity operation that could scale with the brand's
growth without sacrificing performance or financial sustainability.
Business Challenges and Solutions
Despite having technical security coverage in place, Paige's systems were operationally
disconnected across multiple vendors, creating critical visibility gaps that increased both risk
and cost. When ransomware hit, the consequences of that fragmentation became impossible to
ignore. The brand needed cohesive, enterprise-grade protection that could span a global
footprint — and it needed to do so without a budget-breaking infrastructure overhaul.
Xenex responded by deploying its proprietary agents across every server, workstation, and
endpoint in Paige's environment, establishing complete global visibility and enabling immediate
threat response from a single unified portal. The Xenex Security Operations Center operates
24/7, monitoring for anomalies, managing patches, and coordinating directly with Paige's
internal engineers and consultants in real time. The comprehensive protection stack includes
dark web monitoring, intrusion detection, vulnerability scanning, and ongoing penetration
testing — all under one platform. Xenex also delivers regular compliance reporting, employee
cybersecurity training, and cyber insurance alignment. Weekly operational reviews and monthly
executive briefings keep Paige's leadership informed and prepared, making cybersecurity a
strategic asset rather than a distraction.
The outcome has been a complete transformation of Paige's security posture. IT leadership now
operates with full visibility across global systems, faster resolution times, and measurable
resilience — all without the complexity of managing multiple vendors. By retaining its in-house
infrastructure and partnering with Xenex, Paige avoided the projected 5x cost increase of a
cloud migration, freeing resources for innovation, expansion, and customer experience.
