“Improved network visibility by 50%”

Challenges

The business challenges that led Tata Consultancy Services to evaluate and ultimately select Cisco Stealthwatch:

  • A lack of visibility into a complex network with branches, IoT devices, remote employees and guests, cloud infrastructure, etc.
  • A lack of a threat investigation and forensic analysis tool
  • Protecting sensitive data
  • Detection of insider threats
  • Analyzing encrypted traffic without decryption
  • Real-time malware detection
  • Compliance requirements
  • Creating and enforcing segmentation policies

Major security concerns related to cloud infrastructure are:

  • Misconfigured assets
  • Unauthorized access
  • Data loss
  • Insider threats – as a result of stolen credentials or malicious employee
  • Abuse of cloud services leading to disruption or huge bills

  • Comprehensive visibility
  • Advanced security analytics using machine learning and entity modeling
  • Existing network infrastructure
  • Scalability
  • Integration with other Cisco products and technologies
  • Ability to analyze encrypted traffic without decryption
  • Reputation/recommendation

Results

Utilizing Stealthwatch, Tata Consultancy Services was able to:

  • Detect and prioritize advanced malicious attacks and insider threats in real-time
  • Investigate the source of the threat through network audit trails
  • Mitigate threats using the existing network infrastructure
  • Simplify network segmentation by modeling and enforcing policies
  • Provide visibility into what devices, users and applications are using the network
