Data Driven IT Solutions

The automotive industry is facing new challenges due to a vast amount of data, a large number of devices and increasing security requirements. In partnership with Splunk, NTS implemented a global security solution for Porsche Informatik.

Porsche Informatik, a subsidiary of Porsche Holding, services millions of customers on a daily basis and has developed 160 software products for this purpose. The company run their own data centers from Salzburg and offers this service to 32 markets. The Porsche distribution center is one of the largest logistics centers in Europe. From there, the spare parts for Porsche Holding are shipped all across Europe.

Protected by a secure security solution

For Porsche, it is a challenge to supply spare parts to customers on time and this requires a reliable technological solution. In order to provide a safe security solution, Porsche Informatik relies on the expert knowledge from NTS and Splunk. This project’s goal was to step in well before a stoppage or damage during the processing of orders occurs. “The project is the implementation of a ‘Security Information Event Management’ Systems (SIEM) that provides IT departments in numerous countries with the opportunity to analyze and evaluate processes in real time,” underlines Jürgen Wiesholzer, NTS Territory Manager Salzburg.

“It is always important for us to find the right partners and the right software products. Here, we apply the same principles as with the quality of our software products: we only choose the best and with Splunk and NTS we have found the right partners.”

a local cooperation based on partnership

“It was the local cooperative partnership that has been the secret to success. Both between us, as Splunk, and the customer Porsche Informatik, as well as with our partner NTS. From the beginning, the three of us tried to understand the project, to the best of our abilities, and this flagship project emerged out of it,” states a pleased Philipp Putz, Area Vice President, Switzerland & Austria with Splunk.

When dealing with projects of this magnitude, it is important to maintain personal contact. This was possible due to the local presence in Salzburg and in other locations in Austria. NTS is also able to provide ideal support to Porsche Informatik on a European level. “The widely distributed locations were one of the complexities of the project at Porsche Informatik. On top of that we faced topic such as time zones or language barriers,” describes Thomas Fellinger, Senior Security Architect with NTS.
