Agile and  Modern IT Solutions

Our client encountered obstacles in conducting thorough network performance monitoring, which entails analysing log traffic, assessing traffic patterns across various OSI layers, implementing efficient data filtering techniques, and effectively detecting potential cyber-attacks to bolster cybersecurity measures.

We deployed Elastic Stack Vectra for in-depth log traffic analysis and network performance monitoring in our project. We efficiently detected and neutralised potential cyber threats by utilising its features to analyse traffic patterns across OSI layers and apply advanced data filtration methods. This proactive approach significantly improved our client's network security resilience and operational reliability. The technologies used were Elastic and Vectra.

Our client is undergoing a comprehensive infrastructure modernisation initiative to implement a cutting-edge security framework aligned with Zero Trust principles. By leveraging our expertise, the client is strategically aligning with the NIST Zero Trust maturity model, selecting top-tier products for seamless integration to fulfil the specific capability needs of each maturity model pillar. This strategic approach is poised to establish a state-of-the-art data centre and infrastructure fortified by robust zero-trust security protocols.

To address the needs of the users and device pillars, we strategically utilised key Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) for robust identity management and Microsoft InTune for efficient device management. Our approach also involved leveraging tools such as Gitlab, Microsoft Purview, and TrendMicro to enhance data and application management while ensuring top-notch security measures. Considering the client's substantial on-premises network infrastructure with a mix of cloud services, we integrated VMware NSX-T to implement effective east-west micro-segmentation. This decision enhances network security and optimizes overall network performance. Moreover, we meticulously configured a suite of cutting-edge tools to fulfil the Automation Orchestration pillar requirements, including Microsoft Sentinel, Ansible, Elastic, Gigamon, and Microsoft Defender. This comprehensive setup ensures seamless automation and orchestration and enhanced visibility and analytics across the network infrastructure.

The complexity of integrating diverse IoT devices, such as cameras, thermostats and sensors, into the Azure public cloud for our customer's parking garage infrastructure posed a significant challenge. Ensuring seamless connectivity, efficient data transmission, and robust security protocols across the IoT network required meticulous planning and expertise to optimise operational efficiency and safeguard sensitive data.

By meticulously designing and implementing a comprehensive IoT cloud solution on Microsoft Azure, we successfully overcame the challenge of integrating diverse IoT devices within our customer's parking garage infrastructure. Leveraging Azure's advanced features, we established a seamless connectivity framework for thermostats and cameras, enabling efficient data transmission and management in the cloud. This solution enhanced operational efficiency and fortified the garage's security posture, ensuring optimal performance and data protection.
