Connecting systems across public clouds

Our client

A leading global and highly regulated company headquartered in the USA.

The challenge

Our client managed critical and sensitive information in numerous on-premises and cloud applications and databases, lacking secure connectivity between clouds. Their challenge was that each application needed to secure communication between applications themselves. Security is paramount during communication with access control systems and must comply with industry standards. Our client needed a better, more secure solution and one less prone to human error.

How we helped

We worked directly with the client to develop a TCP proxy as a tunnel of encrypted data to secure communication between services deployed in the public and private cloud (on-premises). We had two teams working on the project, one to set up the environment, while the other developed within that environment. Our teams tackled the different aspects of development in the entire software development life cycle involving the product’s design, implementation, testing, and release.

Results

We implemented a tried and tested solution to a common problem of the exchange of information across boundaries, rather than each engineering team re-inventing the wheels.

Our solution was a highly available, secure, robust, and scalable system that increased the security of our client’s infrastructure by controlling and monitoring the communication between boundaries. It currently services the communication of thousands of applications making millions of requests between them.
