Secure Segmentation Throughout Network Environments with Hillstone CloudHive Achieved by K3 Cloud Services
Hillstone Networks, a leading provider of Enterprise Network Security and Risk Management solutions, offers virtual micro-segmentation technology to K3 Cloud Services to secure its cloud network and provide secure services with Hillstone CloudHive.
K3 Cloud Services is a UK-based managed service provider (MSP) that provides high-quality business technology solutions for local and global customers. The K3 Cloud presents both hosted and managed private cloud solutions, which includes Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS).
The shared nature of virtual private clouds provides many challenges. Each individual customer environment hosts its own sensitive data and applications, while the K3 Cloud hosts horizontal applications that are shared throughout more than one customers. In order to make sure the very best levels of security, client environments and shared applications have to be segmented and separate.
After tremendous research for a solution, the K3 Cloud Services team eventually selected Hillstone CloudHive, which secures and protects every virtual machine (VM) in a cloud environment. Hillstone CloudHive Micro-Segmentation solution offers granular visibility into east-west traffic to shield against lateral attacks, is effortlessly scalable, and is obvious to users and network devices. CloudHive enforces Zero Trust throughout environments, permitting the K3 cloud team to safely segment inclined applications from different systems, and attain visibility and manipulate in their cloud.
We had a remarkable task that impacted us from more than one angles: compliance, security, consumer service levels as well as our overall business. With CloudHive, we have adopted a modern, state-of-the-art strategy to data center security and efficiently segmented network traffic and protected client data, stated Craig Bright, IT Infrastructure Manager for K3 Cloud Services. With Hillstone CloudHive, we have attained our goals. Read the full case study here.
