How Lepide helped Cecabank improve their data security posture
The challenge.
As with many in the financial sector, Cecabank operates under strict compliance and regulatory oversight. The primary challenge was to improve visibility into access and activity across its systems and local network—particularly for compliance, forensic investigation, and risk analysis purposes.
The bank needed a solution that could deliver reliable, indexed audit trails of user behavior without creating storage overhead or system drag. Their focus was on evidence collection: understanding who accessed what, when, and from where—without storing massive logs or relying on complex third-party SIEM infrastructure. Their existing tools fell short of these needs, and the security team lacked confidence in their ability to provide auditors with fast, accurate answers when required.
Lepide solution
Cecabank had previously used an earlier version of Lepide and, following strong internal feedback and a streamlined vendor evaluation process, chose to expand and upgrade its deployment. A major factor in their decision was the solution’s balance of functionality, ease of use, and its alignment with the bank’s data governance policies.
The deployment was carried out in collaboration with MICROMOUSE, Lepide’s trusted partner in the region. Their availability and responsiveness during setup and customization made a strong impact. While the platform began collecting data immediately upon installation, the full implementation spanned several weeks due to the scale of Cecabank’s systems and the volume of data being monitored. Throughout the process, MICROMOUSE worked closely with Cecabank’s internal IT teams—as though they were part of the department—ensuring the solution was configured precisely to the bank’s needs.
