Client requirements

This case study features the Australian arm of an international bank, renowned for innovative products for consumers and businesses. Rapid growth saw the bank acquire disparate IT and security systems in response to specific demands, which created information silos. These silos prevented IT staff clearly seeing cyber security threats, tracking them and coordinating effective responses. The bank acquired Huntsman to meet these key objectives:

To provide IT security staff with a single view of events across the network
Log Management that ensured complete data sets for forensic audits
Flexible compliance monitoring and reporting that met regulatory requirements
Ease of use, deployment and implementation and responsive technical support.
