ArcSight Case Study: Vodafone
| Summary: | Vodafone is a leading mobile communications group with 340 million customers worldwide. With an IT infrastructure of more than 20,000 servers in four large data centers and telecommunication infrastructure in more than 20 countries, Vodafone sought a SIEM solution to ensure security of its systems and customer data. |
| Business Challenge: | The magnitude of IDS, firewalls and anti-virus systems in Vodafone data centers produce a huge number of security events and data. All of these need to be correlated, analyzed and prioritized in a timely and efficient manner. |
| Solution: | The ArcSight ETRM platform provides complete visibility into all security activity across the Vodafone IT infrastructure, including external threats such as malware and hackers, and internal threats such as data breaches. |
| Benefits: |
With the ArcSight ETRM platform, Vodafone saves valuable resources and time while also achieving a massive improvement in security. With ArcSight technology, security analysts are able to focus directly on the real threats. Of the 550 million security events the company receives each week, 50,000 are prioritized for review – an efficiency factor of 1 to 11,000. "Even with our massive complex infrastructure, we were able to see the real results from our ArcSight implementation in a very short time frame." – Manfred Troeder, Head of Global Security Operations Centre |
