The challenges

  • KNEIP is a well known name in Luxembourg’s financial services landscape and security is an integral part of their brand 

  • KNEIP’s customers are very sensitive to information security matters 

  • KNEIP must be able to prove and demonstrate to their customers that they meet auditing requirements 

  • Data volume issue: ensure the security of the huge amounts of data that KNEIP must process 

  • Find the right «signal-to-noise» ratio between relevant security alerts, considerable quantities of false-positives, and alerts on less useful or nonsensitive data

The solution

A customised and compliant security solution based on the Cyber Security & Intelligence Operations Center (CSIOC) owned and operated by Telindus in Luxembourg:

  • Log management is the foundation of CSIOC activities. Working closely with KNEIP’s teams, Telindus security engineers have initially defined the perimeter to be covered in order to collect the information relevant for investigation

  • Proactive protection is based on business behaviour and risks. Telindus security engineers have set up use cases aligned with KNEIP’s risks and constantly monitor business activities to detect suspicious events

  • 24/7 real-time monitoring by engineers based in Luxembourg

  • Incident management. Governance, processes, and strong SLAs ensure the efficiency of the response in case of incident.

  • Security Watch. On a regular basis, Telindus security engineers adapt their CSIOC services according to KNEIP’s activities and new indicators of compromise (IOC)

  • Scalable services based on changes in KNEIP’s activities while keeping the allocated budget under control

The results

  • High quality output in terms of reporting and alerting

  • Monthly CSIOC report review with Telindus security engineers in order to benchmark the actual situation against predefined metrics and KPIs

  • Permanent support of Telindus in the continuous improvement of KNEIP’s threat detection capabilities

  • Fully demonstrable and auditable solution, from the alert raised by Telindus to the closing of the incident ticket, through the investigation phase

  • Real time monitoring and alerting on events happening outside of the predefined framework

  • Balanced «signal-to-noise» ratio resulting in actionable information for KNEIP teams • Optimum management of the volume of data

  • Continuous feedback loop across the company and with Telindus in order to improve the service from both sides
