OREANDA-NEWS. June 22, 2009. Energy Consulting/Integration has brought into effect a project related to the implementation of a system for monitoring and analysis of the IT network security in ‘Caesar Satellite’ Company, a leading Russian operator in the field of the Federal consol security services, a member of two European associations EuroWatch & GuardOne, famous for protection vehicles against highjacking, reported the press-centre of Energy Consulting.

‘Caesar Satellite’ imposed the following requirements to this system:

Support to the full range of the equipment in use, automated procedures for investigation of network topology and relevant devices.

Reliable presentation of information with respect to IT incidents, providing IT security services with required information for successful enquiry of IT incidents, low level of falsifications.

Effective correlation of incidents from different devices into complex attacks; capabilities for finding a source and targets for attacks, attack mapping.

Providing IT security services with capabilities for automated reactions and for dynamic updating of system parameters, availability of proactive managing instruments.

The experts of Energy Consulting/Integration proposed a product of Cisco Systems Co, a hardware and software system - Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis and Response System (MARS) that meets all the imposed requirements of the customer. The choice of the system was stipulated by the fact the network infrastructure of ‘Caesar Satellite’ Company is based as a rule on Cisco Systems devices.

Such a product of the global leader in the field of IT technologies is an intellectual security monitoring, analysis and response system, which allows to accumulate and analyze different signals from IT Security devices, to make correlation between events received from those devices and to notify an administrator about all the incidents.

The Cisco MARS System, a leader in security monitoring and analysis, resorts to efficient methods of eliminating different threats by virtue of thorough overlook of network topology, including awareness of Net-Flow-based traffic abnormality. The system provides you with accurate recommendations on eliminating different threats, including possibilities for visualization of routes for attacks and identification of threat sources by virtue of detailed topological diagrams which can simplify responsiveness of the OSI model (Level 2 and higher). Cisco MARS has prompted, simple and flexible reporting system which contains more than 150 ready-made configurable statements.

"We are pleased with the work of the experts of Energy Consulting/Integration, both in terms of its quality and its promptness", - Vladimir Katrechko, IT-Director of ‘Caesar Satellite’, said. - Implementation of this system for monitoring and analysis of the IT network security allows to have prompt reaction with respect to occurred incidents and to prevent possible threats of data exchange focused on your business continuity".

"The Cisco MARS system implemented in ‘Caesar Satellite’ is able to process information received from majority of the telecommunication devices and to inform administrators on-line about all the incidents, - Lev Klimin, Network and Telecommunications Expert of Energy Consulting/Integration, added. – The installed system has helped to identify and eliminate gaps of data-transmission network in terms of IT-securities".
