Case Study -  Finance 

Organization:  Retail bank that provides comprehensive solutions in banking, lending, insurance, and investments.  Regulated by FDIC and other federal agencies.

Situation:  The bank's auditors said they needed to implement a vulnerability management program.  Deficiencies were noted in the lack of comprehensive program that proactively monitoring for vulnerabilities and policy violations was defined as vulnerability assessment, policy monitoring, and patch management. When they surveyed the vendor landscape, they initially thought they would have to implement several point solutions, and build their own custom reporting solution.  Then they discovered Secure Elements.

Solutions implemented: Policy Management, Vulnerability Management, Asset Monitoring, Remediation.

Results:  The C5 Compliance Platform exceeded their expectations when they were able to install and implement the appliance in their lab for pre-deployment testing in minutes.  Once deployed and in production, the integrated capabilities for policy and vulnerability management not only helped security their hosts, but satisfied their auditors.  The ability to have one-click remediations deployed for both policy violations and vulnerabilities exceed their previous expectations.  They have now supplement their legacy asset management system with up-to-date information for installed applications and configuration on a scheduled basis, eliminating a previously manual process.

VP of Information Systems Administration Quote:  "C5 automates the processes required to find, prioritize and fix vulnerabilities and compliance exposures across our IT infrastructure.  We believe in investing in the best solutions available, and implementing new technologies for the benefit of our customers and shareholders.  Our selection of Secure Elements is another example of our leadership in this regard."
