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."
