Challenge
It was very difficult to locate a host when something wrong occurred within the network.
Typically, cybersecurity specialists would call a large number of colleagues from different regions before collecting all the necessary data.
In addition, different systems installed within the infrastructure provided different equipment statistics.
Results
Following the PoC process, there was a comprehensive implementation of the Defensys ACP solution that helped.
- Consolidate all inventory information into one location: equipment technical properties, locations, time zones, equipment personnel.
- Consolidate vulnerability data across infrastructure through automatic prioritization which has contributed to a much more efficient vulnerability management process.
- Aggregate data from more than 1,000 distributed antivirus solution management servers.
Defensys ACP does a healthcheck of the AV system giving the up-to-date reports weekly.
As a result, the Defensys ACP has become a source of reference for assets, not only for cybersecurity personnel, but also for other departments.
Some IT systems use the ACP’s API to enrich the required data with asset information.
The system’s metrics are distributed on the Cyber Security Office video wall where the Operations Center is located.
