As part of their overall IT Stabilization plan, the client required a network security intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS) to monitor and alert IT operations on malicious network activities coverage for the policy domain.
The primary goal was to evaluate an enterprise-wide intrusion detection and/or prevention solution that can provide 24x7 visibility of the current threat landscape and to design the right solution and processes to support enterprise-wide adoption and implementation. A well planned and structured approach was leveraged to map business drivers and requirements with technical capabilities to drive the selection of the right vendor product. A formal RFP was issued and supported by vendor orals to align stakeholder understanding of vendor capabilities against gathered requirements.
Impact
- A thorough selection and evaluation criteria that enabled the client to compare different IDPS solutions in terms of features, performance, reliability, scalability, and support
- Ability to negotiate better contract terms around pricing, licensing, and support
- Actionable IDPS Implementation Roadmap
