Client Overview:
GetMax recently partnered with a small-to-medium-sized enterprise (SME) in the financial sector, which required a comprehensive infrastructure solution to host and secure their critical applications and data. The client’s primary concern was safeguarding sensitive financial information on a virtual machine (VM) while ensuring seamless access for authorized personnel.
Handling sensitive data daily, they needed a solution that would protect their data, cohere to GDPR requirements, and be easy to maintain and manage.
Being a fast-growing business, they needed the ability to scale up their infrastructure as the business grows without the headache of buying and configuring more hardware in-house
Challenge:
The client needed a robust infrastructure that included a virtual machine (VM) and a secure site-to-point VPN to protect their VM from potential threats on the public internet.
Key challenges included:
- Security: The client demanded top-notch security measures to safeguard their financial data from cyber threats and unauthorized access.
- Remote Access: Ensuring authorized users could remotely access the VM securely was essential for business continuity and operational flexibility.
- Scalability: The solution needed to be scalable to accommodate future growth and changing infrastructure requirements.
Solution:
GetMax collaborated closely with the client to design and implement a tailored solution that addressed their unique challenges.
- Virtual Machine Deployment: GetMax deployed a robust virtual machine within a state-of-the-art data center. The VM was configured to meet the client’s specific requirements, including processing power, memory, and storage.
- Site-to-Point VPN: To secure the VM from the public internet, GetMax established a site-to-point VPN connection using industry-standard encryption protocols. This ensured that all data transmitted to and from the VM remained confidential and protected from potential threats.
- Security Measures: GetMax implemented multiple layers of security, including firewall configurations, intrusion detection systems, and regular security audits to safeguard the VM from cyberattacks.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF) Policy: GetMax deployed a Web Application Firewall (WAF) policy, meticulously tailored to the client’s e-commerce domain. This WAF policy allowed fine-grained control over access to the platform, securing it against various online threats.
- Scalability: The solution was designed with scalability in mind, allowing the client to easily expand their infrastructure as their business grew.
Results:
The implementation of GetMax’s solution yielded significant benefits for the client:
- Enhanced Security: The VM and data were shielded from external threats, providing peace of mind to the client and their customers.
- Remote Accessibility: Authorized personnel could securely access the VM from anywhere, promoting efficient remote work and collaboration.
- Scalability: The client could easily scale their infrastructure in response to changing business needs, reducing the need for extensive infrastructure overhauls.
