关于客户
Energie Suedbayern (ESB) is a Southern Bavarian energy provider that supplies natural gas and electricity to 120,000 households in the south of Germany. As the largest operator of its kind in the region, ESB employs around 350 people, with 14 staff members working alongside Benjamin Nawrath in IT. The company operates in the energy/utilities industry and has a significant presence in Germany’s large energy sector, making it a sizeable target for cyber threats. ESB has been proactive in adopting advanced cybersecurity measures to protect its IT infrastructure and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
挑战
One of Benjamin Nawrath’s biggest challenges is maintaining compliance with Germany’s IT Security Act (ITSG), which became law in 2015 but applies from July 2017 onward. The law requires all critical infrastructure providers to run an advanced cybersecurity program designed to ensure the availability, integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality of their IT infrastructure. It also demands that organizations regularly provide certification proving their compliance. Failure to do so could result in a fine of hundreds of thousands Euro. With a large and complex environment to monitor (including 2,000 IP addresses), limited IT staff resources, a growing compliance burden, and ever-determined hackers to keep at bay, Benjamin Nawrath needed robust technology solutions to help overcome these major challenges.
解决方案
ESB IT had been using Rapid7’s leading vulnerability management solution Nexpose previously, so expanding their portfolio with Rapid7 was a natural choice. To fill the need for an incident detection and response solution, a Proof of Concept (PoC) with Rapid7 InsightIDR was quickly and easily set up to provide that all-important confirmation of the product’s capabilities. ESB moved forward with the combination of InsightVM (the evolution of Rapid7 Nexpose) and InsightIDR—both powered by the Rapid7 Insight cloud—to offer industry-leading vulnerability management and incident detection and response. Benjamin Nawrath states that both solutions were easy to set up and maintain, and that they provide “one agent to rule them both”—simplifying management and centralizing reporting. ESB has been a keen adopter of cloud services, so there were no roadblocks in terms of delivery. And since it was for security purposes, the monitoring of IP addresses was given the green light by representatives from the German works council.
