Security Vision 20/20
Executive Sponsor: Bob Varnadoe, Chief Information Security Officer, NCR
Project Team: Randy Conner, Director, Threat Detection and Response, Kumaran Rajasekaran, Manager, Security Operations, Alex O’Brien, SIEM Engineer, Shivangi Rai, SIEM Engineer, and Saurabh Aggarwal, SIEM Engineer
Location: Atlanta, GA
Security monitoring can be one of the trickiest and resource intensive tools to deploy well. With a quickly maturing security program, NCR saw a gap in the visibility of its monitoring program. With thousands of severs, applications, network gear and SaaS solutions to monitor, NCR needed a good solution for gaining this visibility and an extensive way to onboard, track and alert on the thousands of logging points in their environment. Working with their third party MSSP they put in place a program to allow a robust set of tools to do just that.
