Banca Profilo relies on monitoring with Paessler PRTG to safeguard its critical infrastructure
Summary
Dealing with a structure of this kind was a real challenge for Banca Profilo’s small IT team, which consists mainly of four people: two in charge of infrastructure and security, and two who provide help desk services for internal customers. By using a PRTG sensor, Banca Profilo can monitor the integrity of the link to guard against typosquatting hacker attacks that change addresses and redirect users to fake pages. Finally, as far as resources to support PRTG are concerned, Banca Profilo found the documentation provided by Paessler on its website and the video tutorials to be especially informative and comprehensive, including the instructions on how to implement new sensors and how to independently resolve any critical issues. Now, however, thanks to the comprehensive dashboard and real-time notifications, we receive constant updates on the status of facilities and services, and our way of working has gone from passive to proactive,” says Luca Meneghesso, senior IT infrastructure and security specialist at Banca Profilo. Every year, the facilities department in charge of the electrical system has to shut down the entire data center for a weekend, and before installing PRTG, when the power was turned back on, the equipment had to be personally checked and logged in.
