About The Customer
TradAir is a company that creates end-to-end trading infrastructure software, from price creation and dynamic distribution to trading optimization solutions. The company's solution runs as a service and helps financial institutions enhance their client relationships and create new revenue streams. The solution leverages advanced technology services like Docker and Google Big Query and is delivered through a hybrid hosting model residing in the Amazon cloud and Equinix data center. TradAir's team was looking for a cloud security product that could help them minimize security risk, eliminate unnecessary infrastructure exposure, and meet international financial regulations on three continents.
The Challenge
TradAir, a company that provides end-to-end trading infrastructure software, was seeking a robust cloud security product to protect its mission-critical business assets. The company's solution, which leverages advanced technology services like Docker and Google Big Query, is delivered through a hybrid hosting model residing in the Amazon cloud and Equinix data center. The challenge was to find a security solution that could minimize security risk, eliminate unnecessary infrastructure exposure, and provide firewall management, policy automation, authentication, and access control. The solution also needed to be a key aspect of TradAir’s audit and compliance program, helping the company meet international financial regulations on three continents such as SOX and PCI.
The Solution
TradAir chose CloudGuard Dome9 as their security solution. CloudGuard Dome9 offers microsegmentation in public cloud environments using the native security controls provided by public cloud services. It provides end-to-end security lifecycle management across accounts, regions, and clouds. The service uses the native security controls provided by public clouds to protect all cloud resources, including built-in services such as AWS RDS, GCP compute engine instances, and Azure LBs. CloudGuard Dome9 allows businesses to monitor and find security issues, fix them, and stay fixed with continuous enforcement. It integrates with AWS accounts leveraging innovative cross-account trust policy to gather security information, rather than sharing keys and credentials. It also allows administrators to take the necessary actions to rapidly mitigate risk through remediation from a single platform.
Operational Impact
  • With CloudGuard Dome9, TradAir was able to secure its environment in under five minutes, without the need to install any software or manage any agents. The solution provided powerful visualization capabilities that allowed TradAir to review its security posture in real-time and discover any vulnerabilities, compromised workloads, open ports, or misconfigurations. It also enabled administrators to take the necessary actions to rapidly mitigate risk through remediation from a single platform. This eliminated the need for a patchwork of tools for monitoring, remediation, or enforcement, thus bringing agility to the security and compliance lifecycle.
