The Challenge

The organization relies on the successful migration, build, and operation of IT assets from existing enterprise workloads to new cloud-native applications and data platforms. A key part of this process is to minimize the risks associated with file-based threats by conducting stringent security scanning when deploying internally developed software into a client’s highly sensitive environments.

Furthermore, the Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity of May 2021, requires vendors “to implement more rigorous and predictable mechanisms for ensuring that products function securely”. This directive requires organizations to adhere to a set of strict guidelines and placed a newfound emphasis on full disclosure of the solution’s Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). While this helps the US Government to reduce and control the potential for security exploits and malicious software, it caused difficulties when shipping code into their environments.

A combination of the Executive Order and the Cloud Provider’s own commitment to providing market-leading and safe software presented them with a challenge: to process entire containers at scale that include a variety of file formats.

This required the analysis of large volumes of traffic, but with bad actors creating ever more sophisticated exploits, relying on anti-virus solutions alone could not address zero-day risks or thwart sophisticated exploits that are not necessarily signature-based.

The Solution

An integration of Glasswall CDR enabled the rich analysis of all the files in software deployments, at scale, removing any structural anomalies or potentially malicious content.

The Outcome

Via Glasswall Zero Trust CDR, the organization is now able to make more informed decisions as to whether a software package can be deemed safe before it is released to its client. Glasswall’s zero-trust CDR technology also allows the organization to evidence that malicious software and risky file structures have been removed and/or remediated – enabling compliance with the requirements demanded of vendors selling into secure government settings.
