Agile and  Modern IT Solutions

An industry trailblazer in automated healthcare solutions aimed to boost collaboration and optimise project management by incorporating various Atlassian products into their operations. Nevertheless, navigating the complexities of selecting the most suitable licensing model and achieving seamless integration presented formidable hurdles for the organisation.

Our team initiated an exhaustive analysis to pinpoint the exact licensing specifications aligned with the client's enterprise requirements. We meticulously charted a strategic integration roadmap by orchestrating meetings with Atlassian and engaging in discussions with key stakeholders. Through close collaboration with Atlassian, we seamlessly executed the deployment of enterprise licensing or consolidated Atlassian products within a unified organisational framework tailored to the agreed-upon strategy. Furthermore, we dedicated efforts to ensure seamless compatibility between the client's existing user emails and Okta, a critical element of their IT infrastructure. This endeavour involved liaising with Atlassian support to update user emails and establish well-defined user groups for streamlined access management protocols.

The client faced challenges in managing a high volume of security alerts (976+) across a mixed environment of 146 endpoints. Their infrastructure included a combination of Windows workstations, servers, VMware hosts, Office 365, and security tools like CrowdStrike EDR and Cisco Umbrella. Despite leveraging Arctic Wolf services for monitoring and alerting, they struggled to contextualize and prioritize alerts, evaluate risks, and efficiently remediate vulnerabilities. Additionally, undefined hardware details, complex configurations, and dependency risks added complexity to the remediation process.

Our team provided managed security services tailored to the client’s needs. We reviewed security alerts daily and conducted weekly sessions to contextualize findings, aligning priorities with their business requirements rather than generic industry standards. We assisted with risk assessment, provided pros and cons for mitigation options, and offered recommendations for configuration changes. By developing customized remediation plans and runbooks, we empowered the client to handle common issues effectively. Proactive measures included ensuring alignment with best practices, such as enabling MFA for AnyConnect users and addressing complex firmware risks.

Our enterprise client sought robust firewall services with remote access capabilities to secure connectivity for their geographically dispersed workforce. Challenges arose in setting up a secure gateway for northbound and southbound traffic and delivering dependable VPN endpoints for remote access.

We effectively addressed the client's needs by deploying high-availability Palo Alto appliances at their data centre. These appliances had advanced features, including Global Protect VPN, URL filtering, and threat protection capabilities. Strategically positioned, these appliances served as comprehensive VPN endpoints and secure gateways for managing incoming and outgoing traffic. This deployment significantly bolstered the client's network security, ensuring a robust and reliable infrastructure for their distributed workforce.
