Back to Case studyA Hallmark Jewellery Maker Deploys TTBS Virtual Firewall to Secure its Virtualised Environment from Cyberthreats
ShareIntroduction
Handcrafting and importing exquisite jewellery, the company has created its own niche with designs that reflect the convergence of classic ornaments and modern creations. It offers artistic curios using gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, and other precious stones. In its wide array of hallmark jewellery designs, the organisation also focuses on low labour and wastage costs.
The store takes special care to customise jewellery for special occasions as per buyers’ specifications. All ornaments bought online are comprehensively packed to avoid any damage to the product, and safely dispatched via trusted courier services.
As the volume of its e-commerce transactions and the usage of voice over internet protocol (VoIP) apps to communicate with business partners and customers increased, the company needed more security in its online environment. It wanted a reliable firewall solution that could actively identify and block malicious threats.
Tata Tele Business Services (TTBS) offers bespoke solutions against cyber threats - Email Security, Endpoint Security, Multifactor Authentication, Web Security, and Virtual Firewall. Of these, the features of the firewall service with its advanced threat intelligence suited the company’s requirements most closely. The IT team asked TTBS to configure it for their devices.
Business Challenges
The changing cyber threat landscape poses multiple security challenges for companies. For an enterprise that deals in high-value jewellery items, it was critical to ensure that the devices used for online transactions were always safe.
Although the employees were following best practices for cyber hygiene, the IT team also wanted to deploy a cloud firewall system to inspect all incoming and outgoing traffic in the digital work environment.
To maximise cost-effectiveness and control while minimising complexities and carbon footprint, a virtual firewall was preferred to a physical one.
The key priorities while choosing a cloud-based service were:
TTBS Solution
TTBS configured its Virtual Firewall for the jewellery company’s digital work environment. With its advanced threat intelligence and zero-day protection features, our cloud-native firewall activated comprehensive security for the all the devices it was installed on.
The capabilities of TTBS Virtual Firewall included URL filtering, intrusion prevention, SSL decryption, virus-adware-malware blocking, and denial-of-service protection.
Being a managed cloud-native security system, the solution was easy and quick to deploy. It enabled visibility across multiple virtual environments for the IT team, enabling them to analyse the nature of traffic. The administrators could also block websites and content that they felt were not conducive to productive business operations.
TTBS Virtual Firewall had the in-built features that the enterprise needed in its cyber security system:
- Deep packet inspection enabled the firewall to inspect a large range of data and metadata inside each packet that a device interfaced with – it helped to discover and thwart hidden threats within the data stream including attempts of data exfiltration, content policy violation, malware infected files and other online threats.
- Offering lateral movement security – for traffic flowing inside a private cloud – our firewall reduced the attack surface in virtualised environments.
- The firewall came with a centralised management portal for smooth control over its features, giving IT administrators a holistic view of all the threats blocked and the assuring them of a safe digital environment across devices.
- TTBS Virtual Firewall could also be provisioned automatically to meet continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) requirements.
As compared to a physical firewall, the solution offered by TTBS was cost-effective to maintain and was centrally administered. It also provided strong application identity control for better network performance and more security in online environments.
