The client is a central securities depository in India, responsible for maintaining and safeguarding financial assets electronically. IBM India partnered with SecurView, a Gruve company, to enhance the client’s data center security, focusing on building a resilient architecture that protects against modern cyber threats while ensuring regulatory compliance.
The customer’s flat data center network had no segmentation, meaning web, application, and database servers shared the same segment. There was only a single firewall layer, making it vulnerable to zero-day attacks. Additionally, remote access VPN lacked identity management and posture control, and their web applications were highly susceptible to security breaches.
The integrated solution significantly enhanced the organization’s network security posture. The segmented architecture reduced attack surfaces, and NGFW prevented potential threats. Remote access security was strengthened with MFA and posture controls, and web applications were safeguarded with the WAF.
