The Client

The company is one of the most successful financial service providers in the UK, offering life insurance pension and other financial services to UK based clients. They have offices at four locations across the UK and have centralized IT operations. The company has considered e-commerce as a major driver for business as well as a way to offer better services to their clients. They have installed dedicated e-commerce infrastructure and deployed several applications to cater to their business needs.

The Challenge

Our challenge was to architect client's network Infrastructure to ensure secure business transactions on the Internet and Intranet. The scope of the project included review of the network infrastructure, network level vulnerabilities, system level vulnerabilities, application level (Web Servers) vulnerabilities, incident handling and change management. Wipro had to recommend the necessary changes on network infrastructure and had to provide a roadmap considering certificate management and disaster recovery requirements.

The Solution

Wipro carried out security audit on various extranet applications deployment, which included authentication, authorization and password controls. We deployed network infrastructure and conducted security audit, which included Nokia IP440 firewalls running Checkpoint FW-1/VPN-1 and Cisco 7200 series routers. Security audit was carried out on Web Server and Application Server operating systems like Solaris and Windows NT; and on Web servers like iPlanet and IIS Web Servers.
