ArcSight Case Study: Commerzbank

 

Summary: ArcSight provides this global retail and corporate bank with a clear overview of its IT infrastructure and security environment, with automated reporting and correlation.
Business
Challenge:
Commerzbank faced the increasing threats hitting the financial sector and had the challenge of keeping track of the millions of daily security event logs created by over 700 security devices. 
Solution: The comprehensive correlation and reporting in ArcSight ESM allows Commerzbank to process and correlate millions of events, enabling effective threat prioritization, reporting and remediation. The extensive breadth of device support allowed for easy integration into the Commerzbank infrastructure.
Benefits: "The automation ArcSight brings allows [the Computer Emergency Response Team] to spend their time accurately gauging threat exposure and taking the necessary action, rather than spending hours on low-level analysis," said Uwe Tacke, IT Production and CERT.

ArcSight has also enabled Commerzbank to identify networking applications that were misconfigured. Commerzbank estimates that they have achieved a large ROI.
