Case Study

MARS project of the municipal branch of a large-size state-owned bank

The municipal branch of a large-size state-owned bank relies on firewalls, virtual private network (VPN), ID validation system, intrusion detection system (IDS) and other technologies to guarantee network security. However, the spreading speed of network attacks may substantially increase the network's vulnerability.

CISCO MARS security management system has changed the previous security information management concepts and modes. On the one hand, it gives full rein to the functionality of security equipment in the network. On the other hand, it alleviates the workloads on administrators, reduces administration costs, enhances the manageability of network security and hence better guarantees network security.

Features of CISCO MARS:

CISCO security monitoring and response system (MARS) is a high-performance and scalable system that includes a series of equipment for the management, monitoring, control and protection of network threats. It combines the traditional event monitoring and control and network intelligence, context linking, factor analysis, abnormal flow detection, hotspot identification and automatic defense in order to help the client to use and administrate network and security equipment more efficiently.
