Case study: Nedbank increases breadth, depth of its cyber security assessments with Cymulate

Cymulate, which positions itself as a global leader in security and exposure validation, is a platinum sponsor of the Cape Town event of this year’s ITWeb Security Summit, scheduled to take place in Cape Town on 27 and 28 May and Johannesburg on 3, 4 and 5 June.

Luke Cifarelli, Cymulate SA Country manager, notes the case study on how Nedbank increased the breadth and depth of its cyber security assessments is a must read for all financial sector organisations.

Nedbank, one of SA’s top four banks, needs to protect itself and its subsidiaries from cyber threats and vulnerabilities that target the financial services industry. The Nedbank cyber security team wanted to replace its manual, resource-heavy cyber security processes to improve its protection from the latest active threats – it required a tool that could help it to:

  • Automate security testing: The team was expending a great deal of time and resources on developing assessments and manually running each one in different environments and subsidiaries. Additionally, the team needed to ensure the assessments were safe to run and would not harm the organisation.
  • Track and detect drift: With different teams adjusting the security settings, the cyber security team did not have a centralised platform that could track those changes and ensure that none of them put the organisation at risk.
