IT security specialist Zinopy has secured a contract from KBC Bank to provide the organisation with IBM QRadar SIEM, a comprehensive Security Information and Event Management solution designed to improve security levels for the bank and protect its customers’ information.

The IBM solution provides the bank full visibility of the corporate network to identify and act on threats and allows KBC to exceed strict Payment Card Industry compliance and regulations.

A company-wide cyber risk project was conducted by the bank to ensure that the most advanced security platform was in place to evolve with digital advancements.

Paul Collins, Head of ICT Risk at the KBC, said, “Information security is a top priority for the company. As we looked for a new solution, we needed a platform that would help us to better identify risks and respond more quickly.”

Collins believes that a major benefit of working with Zinopy and introducing IBM QRadar has been the ease of integrating the solution into their current systems. “Since implementing this solution, the greatest saving we have seen is time and being able to spot potential risks and respond quickly before they become incidents,” he added

IBM QRadar Security Intelligence Platform products provide a unified architecture for integrating security information and event management, log management, anomaly detection, incident forensics and configuration and vulnerability management. It also uses the threat intelligence expertise of the IBM X-Force research and development team to provide a pre-emptive approach to security.
