Client Overview
Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR) is a Navratna Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Railways. As India’s leader in logistics and container transport, CONCOR operates a vast network of dry ports and terminals. Their digital infrastructure is critical for national supply chains, requiring 24/7 uptime and protection against evolving cyber threats.
Project Name: CONCOR Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) Deployment
Objective: To eliminate network blind spots and provide real-time detection of operational and security anomalies across their nationwide network.
The Requirements
The project was driven by the need for deep network intelligence and proactive security:
- Anomaly Detection: Identify irregular patterns that signify security breaches or operational failures.
- Traffic Transparency: Gain a “360-degree view” of user activity and data movement across the core network.
- Automated Response: Integration with existing security tools to ensure immediate action against threats.
- Compliance & Forensics: Maintain historical data to provide reports for management and auditors.
- Long-Term Reliability: A mandatory 24/7/365 support model to maintain the hardware and software health.

Solution from IT Wings Infosystem
Our team executed a full-lifecycle deployment, ensuring that the NTA was not just installed, but deeply integrated into the business workflow.
Core Integration
We successfully integrated the NTA solution with CONCOR’s core network switches to capture and analyze data packets without slowing down the network.
Configuration for Intelligence
We configured the system to track Real-time Data for immediate alerts and Historic Data for long-term trend analysis.
Threat Mitigation Setup
We linked the NTA to SIEM and SOAR platforms, allowing the system to automatically flag and respond to compliance violations or security breaches.
Reporting Framework
We developed custom reporting templates that provide management with an automated inventory of all devices, servers, and services running on the network.
The Business Outcomes
The deployment delivered measurable improvements to CONCOR’s IT operations:
Instant Root Cause Analysis
IT teams can now identify the exact cause of “Bandwidth Peaks” (such as a specific user or application), preventing network slowdowns.
Enhanced Security Posture
Detected and mitigated Data Exfiltration attempts and unauthorized internet activity in real-time.
360-Degree Inventory
Provided a complete and live list of every device connected to the network, improving asset management.
Audit Compliance
Management now has access to detailed network activity reports for any time period, ensuring they are always ready for internal or external audits.
High-Availability Assurance
With a 3-year support commitment, CONCOR’s network monitoring remains uninterrupted and always up-to-date.
Core Competencies Gained by IT Wings Infosystem
This project solidified our position as a premier systems integrator in the logistics sector:
- Deep Packet Inspection (DPI): Mastery in configuring systems that analyze granular network traffic for security and performance.
