ArcSight Case Study: Swisscom Mobile
| Summary: | Swisscom Mobile, the leading mobile communications provider in Switzerland, uses ArcSight ESM to correlate and identify patterns within their wireless access infrastructure for malware and virus detection. |
| Business Challenge: |
As handset functionality increases and more mobile business applications emerge, threats previously seen in the IT world are beginning to come to the fore in telecoms networks. Downtime in Swisscom Mobile's consumer-led environment is simply not an option and would lead to lost revenue. Security of its customers and their network is of paramount importance. |
| Solution: | Because of its scaleable and extensible architecture and its capabilities in identifying varying usage and data patterns, ArcSight ESM was chosen to help Swisscom Moblile secure their wireless infrastructure. ArcSight ESM has the ability to support the largest number of disparate devices and the power to accommodate telco-grade traffic volumes. |
| Benefits: | Chosen as part of Swisscom Mobile's program to provide monitoring and filters for mobile malware countermeasures, the deployment of ArcSight ESM further solidifies Swisscom's position as an industry pioneer by offering customers the highest level of protection against viruses and malware. "Mobile malware is becoming one of the largest single risks to mobile handsets, but our deployment of ArcSight ESM allows us to protect our customers and network," said Marcel Zumbuhl, Head of Security, Swisscom Mobile. "The fact that we are among the first mobile operators with this type of solution to specifically target mobile malware reduces customer risk. The advanced event correlation provided by ArcSight ESM allows us to react in a timely fashion on new threats." |
