Mexican auditors find fewer cyber risk events at CFE with AIsaac

Mexico's Superior Audit Office checked reports from CFE's AIsaac-based security service and found that AI correlation of events reduced risk events in 2022. It gave no count.

  • Not rated an organization

    The auditors found that risk events fell but gave no count of the events or of any harm avoided.

Depth runs from 1, a convenience or time saved, to 5, a life or a livelihood preserved.

Workflow

The supplier's staff operated the AIsaac tool for CFE as a managed service. The service monitored security events in the public cloud, on the internet, at the network perimeter, in inbound and outbound traffic and in possible lateral movements.

Follow-up

Conditions for replication

CFE must validate the service's deliverables and reports. Incident handling needs procedures for extracting forensic evidence and keeping its chain of custody.
