The gap in question was between its ICT assets and the education of its employees,
which meant that daily reports, notifications, and the execution of update activities werebeing patched to protect against attacks.
Before approaching Kaspersky, the CNR was using another solution. The renewal
proposal for this was extremely high and was going to require the acquisition of separate
security modules. The team opted to carry out a proof of concept exercise withKaspersky, to gain visibility and highlight the number of attacks against the organization.
The CNR also wanted visibility of the state of its ICT equipment, as well as for its internal
security to be bolstered by awareness, supported by policies, decrees, instructions, andgood cybersecurity practices.
It specifically wanted this to include access control, data protection, incident response,and early monitoring detection. It needed the whole thing to be easy to understand forboth the ICT operator and the end user, all with a high level of partner support in caseany queries should arise, and all at a reasonable cost. The solution needed to be effective
and easy to understand, with supplementary support on offer both throughout theset-up and familiarization phases and moving forward thereafter.
Ultimately, the CNR wanted to enhance its threat intelligence capabilities and, throughthe enrollment of a trusted cybersecurity partner, have complete faith in both its system
and its employees’ response to current and emerging cyber threats.
