As the divide between the physical and digital worlds has blurred, we've seen a shift away from traditional supply chains and toward digital supply networks, transforming linear supply chains into linked ecosystems.Risk management in the supply chain is becoming increasingly difficult as a result of this. There could be thousands of various third, fourth, and fifth parties to consider for major organizations. The risk increases as more connected components communicate and store data, and the attack surfaces expand.
We needed to know what happened in our corporate network. Who do we communicate with and how could we, in terms of a data breach, provide the necessary documentation to support our GDPR process. In order to be GDPR compliant, we needed a technology which could support this which is one of the main reasons for the implementation of Muninn.
GDPR has for long been a topic which is discussed in various forums. I participate in a network group in which IT security, hence GDPR is one of the main discussions. We are addressing which solutions does exist in the market, what our business requirements are and how different technologies solves these challenges. All in all, these discussions let us investigate which intelligent network monitoring solutions were available hence our final selection of Muninn.
"The collaboration with Muninn is very positive with a short response time. We consider Muninn as a close business collaboration which is aligned with our demands for IT-security."
Our IT security consisted of a standard endpoint and firewall solution. We also used Wireshark in order to detect unusual behavior in our network, however this was a very time consuming and a manual process, hence we were looking for a technology which could conduct this process automatically. We were looking for a solution that could perform a real-time capture of our network and provide intelligence on the data traffic.
The short answer is; an economical perspective. During the selection process of an intelligent network technology, we compared different vendors and Muninn was the obvious choice as the technology fulfils our IT security needs with an attractive price licensing.
The insight into our corporate network traffic was imperative and Muninn provides the intelligence we needed in order to detect and block anomalies. Furthermore, we know exactly what is going on and it provides the ability to react on the actual threats against our corporation.
