British American Tobacco
British American Tobacco Meets Efficient, Affordable and Flexible Vulnerability Management
We are the world’s second largest quoted tobacco group by global market share, with brands sold in more than 180 markets. With more than 200 brands in our portfolio, we make the cigarette chosen by one in eight of the world’s one billion adult smokers. We hold robust market positions in each of our regions and have leadership in more than 50 markets.
In 2010, our subsidiary companies sold 708 billion cigarettes. In the same year, our subsidiaries enabled governments worldwide to gather more than £30 billion in taxes, including excise duty on our products, almost ten times the Group’s profit after tax.
We have sustained a significant global presence for over 100 years. Our business was founded in 1902 and by 1912 had become one of the world’s top dozen companies by market capitalisation.

About This Case
Grupo Salinas has always been proactive in keeping its network secure. However, as the business grew, this task became ever more complex requiring the architecture team to run four different scans which generated an enormous amount of false incidents.
