InfoWatch Group, a vendor of integrated enterprise cybersecurity solutions, has successfully implemented InfoWatch Traffic Monitor and InfoWatch EndPoint Security at Moscow-based JSC Ziraat Bank, a subsidiary of T.C. Ziraat Bankası A.Ş, thus enabling the customer to protect against confidential data leaks and internal threats as well as to monitor employees' work activities and infrastructure utilization.
«Industry-diverse and international expertise helps InfoWatch deliver projects on a global scale," said Konstantin Levin, Sales Director, InfoWatch Group. "Our unique linguistic and industry-specific technologies designed to prevent data leaks and protect customers from internal threats add value to businesses in Europe, Middle East, India, and Southeast Asia. We are looking forward to growing our presence on foreign markets. The successful cooperation with one of the largest Turkish financial and credit organizations is a mark of excellence achieved by InfoWatch solutions. This is a perfect example of competitive power and export focus of Russian technology offerings.»
Upon the pilot project completed in 2015, InfoWatch provided Ziraat Bank with recommendations on how to combat data leaks and internal threats.
In 2016, InfoWatch thoroughly audited the bank’s infrastructure, identified its DLP needs, drafted technical requirements for an implementation site, developed project documents, and completed technical design.
As a result, InfoWatch Group installed and configured its proprietary software at Ziraat Bank, fine-tuned bank’s information security rules and policies, verified the system functioning, and trained the bank's specialists in operating the systems. The project involved the use of InfoWatch’s content filtering databases for banking sector in the Russian, English and Turkish languages.
«With InfoWatch solutions, we have gained control over work activities of the bank employees, apps they run and data leakage threats," said Yasin Taha Celiloğlu, Head of IT Department, JSC Ziraat Bank (Moscow). "Our business communications are mostly in Turkish, and, therefore, the availability of Turkish industry-specific dictionaries was a DLP prerequisite for us. The fact that InfoWatch Traffic Monitor Enterprise got all necessary dictionaries pre-installed dramatically streamlined the implementation. We are happy with the work done by InfoWatch Group information security, linguistics and data analysis specialists who developed security policies to prevent internal threats and detect violations for the bank.»
