Technology

The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MPO) sets strict requirements for ensuring the secure operation of ICT systems, both for internal information processing and for communication with external organizations.

Comprehensive Security Monitoring Tool

MPO deployed a full-scale security monitoring solution, enabling it to monitor and evaluate security incidents in line with its internal security policies.

Our solution helps to:

Meet the requirements of the Cybersecurity Act
Record and visualize major security breaches in ICT operations
Process up to 60,000 events per minute from source systems
Evaluate up to 25,000 attacks per minute
Significantly reduce the workload of administrators during incident investigations
Provide clear operational and security dashboards for both administrators and management

The Challenge

Without an effective monitoring tool, MPO was unable to efficiently enforce or validate its security policies across ICT environments.

Our Approach

Conducted a thorough analysis of the initial state, including ISMS status and existing technical and process measures.
Defined the most suitable implementation approach, considering the variety of event sources.
Developed detailed project documentation and comprehensive test scenarios.
Implemented the solution step by step, with real security events already being visualized during deployment.

The Outcome

Full control over ICT operations
Centralized log processing from all critical information systems
Application-layer traffic analysis, anomaly detection, and protocol evaluation
Correlated events enriched with identity system data
Threat intelligence integrated to detect latest global risks (malware, spam, DoS, botnets)
Strong correlation tools consolidating thousands of atomic logs into actionable events
Multi-level visibility: from high-level overviews to granular log-level analysis
Customizable dashboards and reporting aligned with MPO’s security policies
Extended vendor support provided for five years

What the Client Valued Most

Efficiency for administrators – the tool provided visibility across ICT operations, correlating and naming events, and serving as a reliable incident response system.
Incident prevention and resolution – ensured enforcement of security policies, logging violations with evidence (who, when, where, how, and what was affected), raising security awareness across staff and suppliers.
Intuitive interface & clear reporting – dashboards and visual outputs accessible to both administrators and senior management, ensuring transparency and compliance.
