COVER STORY
airport’s infrastructure, IGA is able to
protect both the airport’s business
and customer data. Since deploying,
it has witnessed greater threat hunting
and investigative analysis and in-depth
visibility in network and endpoints.
Ersin Inankul, CIO, Istanbul Grand
Airport said: “We have built Istanbul’s
airport as the world’s largest airport
and with security as a foundation. And
we are happy to partner with Cisco to
secure this airport.”
We asked Inankul further questions
about the solution.
Why is it important for Istanbul
Grand Airport to have an
integrated security solution?
Integrated solutions are very important
for unified visibility, threat intelligence,
enrichment and collective response.
Within this scope, Cisco integrates
security across the network, cloud,
Internet, email and endpoints to minimise
the complexity of managing security
across a distributed organisation and
to increase threat visibility into the
farthest reaches of the enterprise and
global service provider infrastructures.
Cisco embeds security throughout the
extended network.
customer and business data will be
protected and secured.
Additionally, Cisco AMP Everywhere is
easy to deploy. Its flexibility will allow
IGA to simply scale its IT infrastructure
as the airport and IT team expands
throughout its construction phases.
Through the integrated architecture,
IGA is fully protected – from network, to
email, to web, all the way to endpoints.
Using AMP Everywhere, IGA will be
able to see a threat once and block it
everywhere else in their environment,
thus decreasing the security
administrations workload and time to
detect and remediate against threats.

Can you explain how the solution
has given you better threat
hunting capabilities?
Cisco CTR is our primary integrations
platform which gives us the capability
to reduce the time for detection. Cisco
Threat Response automates integrations
across select Cisco Security products
and accelerates key security operations
functions: detection, investigation and
remediation. It is a key pillar of the
integrated security architecture.
The Cisco 2018 Security Capability
Benchmark Study indicates that 54%
of all cyberattacks result in financial
damages of more than US$500,000
including, but not limited to, lost
revenue, customers, opportunities and
out-of-pocket costs.
To prevent such losses, we prefer Cisco
to protect our customers’ data.
Cisco enables the organisation’s IP
network to be used as a sensor to
report anomalies on the network and
even undertake automatic cybersecurity
actions. This means the IP network
can be used as a sensor to detect and
eliminate security threats.
We all know that in the real world there
is not a 100% protection system/data but
we are confident that we can mitigate
99% of attacks.
For the 1%, we focus on end point
security solutions, awareness,
regulations, network visibility and
security solutions.
How important is it to IGA to
protect the endpoints?
Cisco Advanced Malware Protection
(AMP) for Endpoints prevents threats
at point of entry, then continuously
tracks every file it allows into your
endpoints. AMP can uncover the most
advanced threats – including file-less
malware and ransomware, in hours, not
days or months.
The data is on the endpoints and
malware is always active on the
endpoints so for us endpoint visibility is
very important and using Cisco AMP for
Endpoints, which is a hybrid of EPP and
EDR solution, gives us the capability to
protect endpoints.
Why is it so important for IGA to
protect the data of its customers
and are you confident that this
will be protected? Can you explain how the
implementation has allowed you
to gain visibility and what the
benefits of this are?
The arena for cybercriminals is
increasing. In today’s cyberthreat
landscape, every organisation, large or
small, is at risk of an attack. Integration with AMP across the
board allowed us to gain deep visibility
in our endpoints, network, web and
email layers. u
