related to security management
Ì A defensive approach to cybersecurity
that was proving to be inadequate

What led you to makefocused improvements
for your existing security
environment?
Tata BlueScope Steel had advanced securityprotocols in place to address sophisticated threats.
However, we believed that taking our eyes off thesecurity posture was not an option, and a proactive
approach to security was required. Our IT team had
the necessary skills to manage security deployment
but to continuously monitor the security
installations qualified security professionals, whocould act as an extension of our team, to deliver
proactive SOC services was required.

The organization had also experienced multiple
phishing incidents and addressing them was a key
challenge. The pandemic meant that a large partof our workforce was working remotely, and thisworkforce was susceptible to attacks. Tata BlueScope
wanted to extend security to employees working
remotely and address the risk from zero-day attacks.
