Cybersecurity — SIEM & application security

About

A leading bank in the Kingdom needed both halves of its security posture to improve together: what it could see across the estate, and what it shipped in its own code. IOTA delivered two complementary programmes. LogRhythm brought security information and event management into one operational view, consolidating detection, correlation and monitoring across the environment. Checkmarx embedded application security into the bank's development pipelines, putting static analysis and secure-code practice where engineering actually works.

Results

Monitoring and application security now reinforce each other — threats are detected and correlated centrally, while code-level risk is caught inside the delivery pipeline rather than in production. Both platforms were implemented against the bank's regulatory obligations, with SAMA's cybersecurity framework shaping controls and reporting.
