Our client is a leading Multinational Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Company with strong presence across the world. It is highly renowned for the production of affordable and world-class medicines.

One of their key concerns was to address the technical limitations of the traditional firewall, which provided inadequate protection in the current threat landscape. To address this pain point, Hitachi Systems Micro Clinic recommended ‘Next Generation Threat Prevention’ unified solution that blocked advanced threats and malware attacks; thereby enabling the organisation to easily and confidently control access to millions of websites.

BUSINESS REQUIREMENTSn Technical inability to address the current threat landscape from a single appliance.n Offered protection based on controlling specific protocols and ports & restricting traffic to and from specific IP

addresses.n Often forced administrators to trade off security against performance.n The Security and Operation teams required additional tools to optimise the configuration of firewalls to ensure

Security and Compliance. n Expensive to operate due to licensing cost of additional technologies. For each product, the system

administrators had to be trained to master the intricacies of configuring hardware and software, setting rules, creating reports and monitoring events.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTSn Limitation to inspect L2 and L4 layers due to incapacity to look into the packets for detecting Malware.n Inability to protect against Advanced Threat Landscape.n No approach of connecting network traffic with users. Suspicious traffic could not be associated with individual

users, except through the laborious process of poring through log files.n Once a port was opened for Internet traffic, any traffic could come through disguised as legitimate traffic.n The existing solution was incapable of executing decryption and SSL traffic inspection.n It was unable to associate network traffic with specific applications as it was not ‘Application Aware’.

SOLUTIONSHitachi Systems Micro Clinic proposed ‘Next Generation Threat Prevention’ solution and Firewall Analyzer. The entire deployment were executed in 3 phases:

Phase 1 - Planning Phase Phase 2 - Implementation Phase Phase 3 - Service Completion Phase

n Planning Phase: determined roles and responsibilities for customers and Hitachi Systems Micro Clinic to finalise the implementation phase schedule. Comprehensive project plan and duly created and submitted. n Implementation Phase: deployed and configured policies for Next Generation Threat Prevention solution based on the agreed project plan. This phase was further sub-divided into six parts: (i) Initial Setup - from BOM verification to mounting to testing and verification (ii) Firewall configuration and installation on virtual environment.
