BRUSA HyPower AG faced growing challenges due to the increasing threat of cyberattacks, which put their assets and compliance at risk. To strengthen their cybersecurity and minimize these risks, they chose a comprehensive cybersecurity solution from NTT DATA.

Business Needs

Cybersecurity is more than a technological concern. With financial damage, reputational loss, weakened stakeholder trust and legal liability on the line, breaches have become a compliance risk – and cybersecurity has become a strategic priority.

Attacks come in many forms: ransomware, phishing, insider threats or targeted campaigns by state-sponsored actors. The question is no longer if a company will be attacked, but when and how severe the attack will be.

To minimize the operational impact of security incidents and ensure business continuity, modern detection, response and recovery capabilities are essential. They enable organizations to monitor, investigate and respond to threats 24x7. Organizations also need a well-designed incident response plan that enables swift, coordinated action to minimize damage.

However, most companies lack the resources to manage this internally. This was case for BRUSA HyPower AG. The manufacturer required a modern IT security environment to safeguard its sensitive data.

NTT DATA stood out clearly in our evaluation of different SOC providers. Its global reach and long-standing expertise are key in securing our continuously growing business.

Solution

BRUSA HyPower chose a comprehensive package from NTT DATA, consisting of a managed security service (MSS) with SIEM/SOC, a DFIR retainer and consulting services. NTT DATA was the clear frontrunner in BRUSA HyPower’s internal evaluation of SOC providers. In addition to our proven expertise in cybersecurity, our global presence meant we could meet the global manufacturer’s unique needs.

NTT DATA’s SIEM/SOC MSS is a fully managed solution that covers deployment, platform management, threat detection, compliance reporting, tailored use cases, dashboards and playbooks for incident escalation. It combines commercial SIEM capabilities with advanced analytics and threat intelligence.

The system was adapted to meet BRUSA HyPower’s business needs. This included assessing key elements such as network topology, protocol sources, data center locations and critical logical requirements.

As part of the service agreement, the Swiss power electronics manufacturer has 24x7 access to NTT DATA’s experienced security analysts and forensic experts in an emergency.

 

From the evaluation phase through to operations, communication has always been fast and professional – and escalates to experts whenever needed.
