The Caritas Trägergesellschaft Saarbrücken (cts) faced the challenge of safeguarding its digital infrastructure against cyberattacks while maintaining compliance with strict data protection regulations. Early in the collaboration, the need for a comprehensive security solution became evident when an attempted hacking attack revealed vulnerabilities within their extensive network.
Thanks to the swift response of Conscia’s experts, the attack was successfully neutralized without any impact on cts’s infrastructure, ensuring uninterrupted operations and the protection of sensitive data.
The Caritas Trägergesellschaft Saarbrücken mbH (cts) is a large social service organization operating 34 facilities across Saarland and neighboring regions. Founded in 1992 as a non-profit organization, it employs approximately 6,000 people. As a modern and socially responsible service provider within the Caritas network, cts is dedicated to supporting individuals in various life situations. Through qualified assistance in health care, elder care, child and youth support, and education, it serves as a reliable partner for people of all ages and backgrounds.
What was implemented in the project?
The mission of cts is to support people and work alongside them, a goal that aligns perfectly with its partnership with Conscia in enhancing digital security. To meet cts’s specific needs, Conscia delivered a customized Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution. The key components of the project included:
- Cloud-Based Security Operations Center (SOC): A 24/7 SOC was implemented to continuously monitor cts’s digital environment and respond to threats in real time.
- EDR/XDR Systems for Endpoint Security: Advanced systems from leading providers were deployed to secure servers, workstations, laptops, and mobile devices, ensuring robust prevention and detection of cyberattacks.
- Specialized Security Solutions for Healthcare and IoT: Dedicated solutions were introduced to monitor network traffic in connected medical devices, detecting and addressing unusual data patterns.
- Integration of Security-Relevant Data Sources: Logs from firewalls, network components, and cloud services were integrated to enable comprehensive security monitoring and threat detection.
This tailored approach ensured that cts’s digital infrastructure is well-protected, supporting their critical mission effectively.
“Working with Conscia has greatly enhanced our security strategy. Their tailored MDR solution not only met but exceeded our expectations, significantly improving our digital security. Conscia’s expertise and quick response times set them apart. We’ve found a dependable partner who actively supports us in cybersecurity,” says Jochen Schneider, Head of IT at cts.
