挑战
The talent agency was facing increasing costs and systems from acquisitions, along with a central data center that was already out of space. The agency adopted a hybrid cloud strategy, with a key success factor being a multi-cloud model to avoid vendor lock-in with one large incumbent. However, maintaining several different and incompatible security solutions for each cloud and the data center wasn’t operationally viable. The agency had to seamlessly support high-profile clients; outages and downtime – planned or unplanned – were unacceptable. The board-level decision for multi-cloud adoption required deployment, but the final solution had to be effective enough to defuse objections among a multiplicity of motivated stakeholders.
关于客户
The customer is one of the world’s largest talent agencies. They were facing ballooning costs and systems from acquisitions coupled with a central data center that was already out of space. To address these challenges, the agency adopted a hybrid cloud strategy. One key success factor to the project was a multi-cloud model to avoid vendor lock-in with one large incumbent. However, maintaining several different and incompatible security solutions for each cloud and the data center wasn’t operationally viable. The agency had to seamlessly support high-profile clients; outages and downtime – planned or unplanned – were unacceptable.
解决方案
The agency's security engineers looked to a best-of-breed solution from Illumio to transform their cloud security. Teams were immediately impressed with the visibility gained across hybrid environments using Illumio ASP’s real-time application dependency map, Illumination, along with its ability to enforce policy anywhere. Illumio ASP’s simple policy model created tighter control than they could have achieved with Security Groups or ACLs. After testing workloads and enforcement across all cloud platforms, the agency’s application teams validated that it was transparent for their business. Final rollout went smoothly, chalking up a win for the security team and satisfying the system administrators who praised the agent as “ignorable.”
