Abstract(s)

Altice Portugal’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) receives a Daily Security Brief (DSB), a daily report with concise information on the state of cybersecurity in the organization. The report is developed by ROBOCISO2, a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) system that aggregates a set of risk vectors and generates a PDF document. The objective of this project is to monitor applications supporting the cybersecurity systems and present the performance of applications in the DSB in a clear and summarized way, in this way, the CISO effectively knows that the tools are functional. Allied to the fact that a monitoring system has been set up, the systems administrators of each application are alerted if their performance is not as expected and the CISO is alerted when there is a critical failure in the infrastructure. APMSEC is a system that monitors applications and the environment in which they are inserted, using the Elastic Stack observability modules. Subsequently, the system synthesizes the information to be integrated into the DSB. The APMSEC system thus helps the CISO to be informed about the state of the cybersecurity infrastructure without having to worry about the fact that applications can fail and the failure remains unnoticed.
