Major Global Mobile Operator Controlling Third-Party Administrators

The mobile operator has a complex IT infrastructure with several high security network zones. These critical network segments are administered not only by the internal IT staff, but also third-party administrators. Controlling system administration is therefore a key aim of the mobile operator’s security department. They had SSH gateways and other security solutions in operation but none of those could provide sufficient traceability of encrypted traffic.  Consequently, they started to look for a new solution that would be able to control internal as well as third-party IT administration activity.
