Legal & General - Unmatched flexibility, high levels of security and client support
Legal & General in the Netherlands has deployed DetectIT to secure its network of IBM System-i eServers. Part of the renowned DetectIT portfolio, DetectIT Network Traffic Controller, Risk and Compliance Monitor, and Security Audit and Detection were selected thanks to the solution's unmatched flexibility, high levels of security and client support.
Security a bitter necessity
"Because of the increasing openness of the System i platform, security has become a bitter necessity", says a spokesperson for Legal & General, Netherlands. "The increased use of Windows PC's (as clients) creates extra security requirements for this IBM solution."
Legal & General choose DetectIT over other security solutions due to its modular architecture. "After extensive testing we successfully implemented DetectIT Network Traffic Controller, Risk and Compliance Monitor and Security Audit and Detection.”
Saving time
The life insurer has deployed DetectIT for various purposes. "We are using Security Audit and Detection to filter the thousands of messages that come from the System-i," say Legal & General. "In this way we are able to see only the important messages. This saves an enormous amount of time and increases the chance of spotting any real issues. We purchased Network Traffic Controller to monitor and protect our exit points, and with Risk and Compliance Monitor we can easily and quickly create new policies. This solution also automatically checks the System-i's settings with default policies as provided by DetectIT."
Complete confidence in DetectIT
Thanks to extensive pre-purchase testing and evaluation processes undertaken, Legal & General have complete confidence in the DetectIT modules. "They (Safestone) have proved that they can exactly match our expectations. DetectIT saves us time and contributes to a higher level of security. Above all, Safestone has demonstrated that it takes our questions seriously. Their reaction is always prompt and the service is perfect. This is something we do not often experience in this market," add Legal & General.
