Customer Use Perspective Series: Part 1 – Why a Major Retailer Uses Security Intelligence
Posted by Heather Howland in Compliance, Retail, Security Intelligence, SIEM
We recently held a webcast with SANS, featuring a major Q1 Labs customer who is a well-known luxury brand in the retail space. They have been relying on the QRadar Security Intelligence Platform to help them tackle compliance regulations, gain visibility into network devices and system logs, display packet level detail, and provide powerful reporting capabilities.
Let’s rewind a bit and discover why they need a SIEM.
PCI compliance is a driving factor since they are a publicly traded company and host payment information. Beyond that, and the reason why they need a SIEM, is the diversity and size of their network. Their infrastructure is comprised of multiple flavors of UNIX (including HPUX and IBM AIX), Red Hat Linux, and Windows servers; with network devices from Cisco, Checkpoint (firewalls), Solarwinds, and Airwave.
With over 500 stores, a corporate network, and a retail network, they faced a challenge of continuously monitoring for threats and suspicious activities. It was clear to them that simply reviewing logs on a periodic basis was not enough. They needed a SIEM solution to help uncover anomalies on their network in real time.
Of course, you don’t have to wait for each of these series to be released – watch the full webcast now. In the next part of the series, we will see why selecting a SIEM vendor is not an easy process.
