BIGFIX HELPS INDONESIA’S OCBC NISP BANK STAY AHEAD OF

HACKERS AND MALWARE

The world is flat when it comes to malware; Hackers attack wherever they detect vulnerability

Emeryville, Calif.—November 4, 2009

News Facts

  • OCBC NISP Bank, headquartered in Jakarta, reports that it has sharply reduced the time to deploy anti-malware countermeasures with a BigFix-based visibility, vulnerability management and software patch and update solution.
  • The BigFix solution helps the bank rally same-day response to zero-day and other IT security attacks on its computing infrastructure.
  • The BigFix solution particularly proved its worth against the Conficker worm. Bank staff could observe in real-time ‘battle status’ against the worm, identify vulnerable systems, and quickly send content to bring computers up to standard.
  • The BigFix solution was recommended and implemented by Mitra Integrasi Informatika, a Jakarta-based BigFix Authorized Partner together with Harrisma, a Jakarta-based BigFix Distributor.

Background and Context

  • Founded in 1941, OCBC NISP Bank focuses on financial services to the small and business community in Indonesia.
  • It manages 4,000 computers at over 400 headquarter and branch office locations distributed widely over the island nation.
  • Communication links range from modern fiberoptic to 64 Kbaud Frame Relay and are subject to sudden service outages during the progress of patch deployments.
  • The world is flat when it comes to malware. Developing country enterprises face the same IT security threats as their counterparts in wealthier economies.
  • The bank believes that the consolidated visibility-vulnerability management-software patch solution has both improved the Bank’s effectiveness in maintaining information security and lowered the total cost of ownership compared their previous generation solution.
