Vulnerability Management for a large banking institution

CHALLENGE

In a pervasively digitized world that creates infinite opportunities, cyber risk has become one of the points of greatest attention on the tables of banking boards. The main security threat to the finance world is represented by malware, increasingly aggressive and constantly evolving, responsible for data breaches and damage in the millions.

Banks have now established a culture of security, which translates into integrated plans, which include threat prevention activities, such as Vulnerability Management, and risk reassessment.

Vulnerability Management is a fundamental element to guarantee the security of IT systems. Vulnerability Management identifies, through a continuous and planned process, the parts of the system that may be weak in terms of security and must be included in a broader security policy.

A large Italian bank has chosen Italtel to perform security checks with Vulnerability Management activities on its systems, from network servers to applications, to networking and security equipment (WAF, firewall, IDS / IPS).
