Timms says he has been impressed by the visibility that the new suite of tools has delivered in terms of showing the threat trajectory and indicators of compromise, enabled by the Firepower Management Centre.
“It delivers what we need,” Timms says. “The Firepower Management Centre has been a very powerful ‘single pane of glass’ to look through, which has been really good. The information we are getting has allowed us to respond a lot faster to threats, even across different systems.
Timms says that at times the results have been surprising. “Now we know how many times the system is getting attacked and the kinds of attacks that people are leveraging against these systems,” Timms says. “The solution actually picked up an attempt to deploy Stuxnet to one of our power station managers.
“All of that visibility will also inform better software development principles internally.”
