Cyber Security Manager, AGEL a.s.
The challenge
Since insider threats are one of the major dangers for health-related data security, AGEL needed to monitor user actions with health-related data and manage access to it. Particularly, they wanted to be able to pay close attention to privileged users: in-house administrators and third-party suppliers.
Additionally, AGEL has a complex infrastructure where a large number of IT administrators perform cross-system operations. Although each AGEL facility is partially independent in terms of IT administration, information security management for all facilities is covered by headquarters. That’s why AGEL needed a solution that could be deployed with zero changes to existing system management procedures.
After evaluating several options, the customer decided to go with Ekran System, provided by DATASYS, our representative in the Czech Republic.
The result
Our customer successfully enhanced the security of sensitive data with no changes in system management procedures. They implemented Ekran System directly on critical endpoints, where it allows them to:
- See who does what with sensitive data
- Respond to insider threats in real time
- Know how privileged users handle sensitive data
- Limit admin access to a particular facility
- Manage server configurations separately for each facility
- Gather and process monitoring data from all facilities in one place
