Our client

This client is a Japanese Automotive Manufacturer with over 100 locations throughout Australia, delivering more than 100,000 cars to Australian’s each year. Their vast network required security solution they could rely on.

  • Industry: Automotive
  • Client Size: 100 Locations
  • Location: Australia-Wide

Challenges

An ISO27001 assessment found an unmanaged SIEM that couldn’t properly detect or monitor security threats.

Prior network security situation

Prior to engaging Cythera cyber security, the client completed a thorough ISO27001 cyber security gap assessment and determined a need to improve their capability to monitor and detect threats across the network, infrastructure and endpoints.

Their existing Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution did not provide adequate monitoring or detection coverage to identify or respond to modern attacks spanning infrastructure or users. The pre-existing SIEM was also unmanaged and required significant, costly updated to function in a high-performing state.

Solution

Cyther recommended and deployed its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service underpinned by Rapid7’s InsightIDR platform.

Cythera incorporates human-led triage and proactive threat response serices using Cythera’s team of Australian-based security experts.

The Cyther MDR service combines best-in-class cyber threat detection and alerting capabilities which spans over 900 detections and comprehensive user behaviour analytics to detect the most advanced cyber-attacks and insider threats.

As part of this cyber security service, Cythera incorporates human-led triage and proactive threat response serices using Cythera’s team of Australian-based security experts. This team is also responsible for providing periodic security threat-hunts to identify rogue processes or systems that exist within the client environment that could impact business operations or precede a network security breach.

Outcome

This automotive manufacturer client achieved their goal of improved visibility and threat detection capabilities.

Cythera’s cyber security solution

  • Best-in-class threat detection
  • Rapid detection and response
  • Endpoint protection
  • 24x7 managed cyber security
  • Lower securtity costs

They also benefited from Cythera’s security operations team who have become an extension of their internal IT team and always respond immediately.

Cythera’s cyber security solution was 30% less than larger providers and was rolled out within a 4-week period, offering near immediate time to value.

The client has complete confidence in Cythera’s threat detection, alert triage and guided response capabilities and has since expanded their service with Cythera to also include Managed Vulnerability Management.
