ArcSight Case Study: Experian
| Summary: | Experian is committed to ensuring the integrity and safety of its data. The company sought an enterprise solution that would allow it to monitor threats and vulnerabilities in an automated fashion. |
| Business Challenge: |
Systems administrators were responsible for managing and monitoring their individual logs sor security events, even though that was not their primary role. Experian understood that those ciritical security functions had to be integrated and managed in a central location. |
| Solution: | ArcSight ESM enables Experian to monitor and analyze security event data from all its systems within a single view. The organization can now do behavior and pattern analysis across all its systems, a practice which has fundamentally shifted the paradigm of how they approach security. "ArcSight ESM actually brings intelligence to log management, allowing us to do much more than we imagined - and with a much smaller team than we anticipated," says Tom Jacobsen, Director of the Global Security Operations Center at Experian. |
| Benefits: | With the ArcSight platform, Experian has greatly enhanced its capacity to mitigate external threats and detect suspicious events before they can cause damage. "ArcSight ESM has given us an approach we never had before, for actually finding sophistocated threats like zero-day attacks," says Jacobsen. In terms of cost saviings, the company estimates it has saved thousands of dollars by centralizing the log management function. |
