November 2012 by Marc Jacob
LogRhythm has become the joint winner of an award for Project of the Year as a result of its ongoing work with Callcredit Information Group, a leading provider of marketing and credit solutions. The companies were honoured yesterday at the Computing Security Awards ceremony, held in London. Now in its third year, the awards were set up to recognise the products, services and companies that have been most impressive at protecting organisations from IT security threats.
Callcredit is charged with safeguarding significant volumes of sensitive information and holds detailed credit and marketing data on more than 42 million individuals and 2.8 million active businesses. In addition, due to the fact it hosts services online, any outage would be both costly and damaging to its reputation. Before implementing LogRhythm, Callcredit used a system that covered the enterprise services element of the business however it recognised the importance of a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) that could be deployed throughout its entire network. The advanced Protective Monitoring capability of LogRhythm’s platform enables Callcredit to automatically monitor its entire IT estate from a central point, enabling the company to make informed decisions based on business intelligence. LogRhythm’s Advanced Intelligence (AI) Engine correlates this information with unparalleled efficiency, alerting Callcredit to any malicious activity that might be taking place across its network.
