Challenges
While the business and team are growing quickly, Kiwi.com’s IT infrastructure and network
are growing even faster.
Kiwi.com’s main reason for deploying MENDEL was to ensure that the goodwill and
reputation which Kiwi.com had built through a reliable and secure IT infrastructure was
preserved. It was critical to the day-to-day operations of the whole company that this
be done effectively. Kiwi.com needed the ability to oversee their network’s technical
infrastructure and network administration from an operational, performance, and security
monitoring perspective.
Other challenges included:
– Protection of customer data
– Detection of modern threats and protection against attacks targeted at network users
– Provision of a security-focused overview of network infrastructure behavior, including an
automated analysis of normal behavior for individual network segments, devices, and
individual users
– Improved security policy enforcement
– Monitoring Kiwi.com’s current security infrastructure configuration and effectiveness
– Easy scalability
- Protection of customer data
- Detection of future APTs, RATs, zero-day attacks, etc.
- Growing IT infrastructure
- Network visibility
- Security policies
Advantages
GREYCORTEX MENDEL includes several important features that benefited Kiwi.com’s IT team. The most important is a behavioral detection engine based on advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence. Outputs are integrated with an hourly updated list of blacklisted IPs and signatures. Because these tools are integrated, MENDEL can detect threats based not only on known signatures, but based on atomic-level symptoms of attack; for example, where an advanced persistent threat lies dormant, but communicates with its Command and Control. MENDEL also includes application performance monitoring capabilities, offering teams detailed data for business critical transactions, combined with security events for easy root cause analysis; all in real time, without slowing the network. Finally, MENDEL helped to enforce Kiwi.com’s existing security policies and maintain its compliance with government regulations.
