Case Study: astora achieves BSI-compliant attack detection system readiness with Secunet Security Networks

Astora prepares 6 billion cubic meters of gas storage for ADS audit with Secunet

astora GmbH, a major European natural gas storage operator and a critical infrastructure provider in Germany, faced the challenge of preparing for a mandatory audit to prove the use of an attack detection system (ADS) as required by law. To meet this compliance challenge, astora engaged Secunet Security Networks for support services related to its Information Security Management System (ISMS).

Secunet provided comprehensive support, beginning with a joint workshop to assess the current status using a custom audit tool. They assisted in developing a strategy, creating necessary documentation, and defining rules for the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system. This collaboration resulted in a custom-fit attack detection system that fulfilled all legal requirements. Secunet successfully prepared astora for the audit and accompanied them through the process with an external auditing body, ensuring a successful proof of compliance and laying the groundwork for continuous improvement of the ADS.
