Glasswall’s zero-trust CDR solution enables secure, petabyte-scale data migration to classified clouds, outperforming traditional detection with high-speed, elastic file sanitization.
A leading technology company held a large quantity of data on-premises that they needed to transfer cross-domain to a classified cloud environment.
However, removing malware from a massive dataset prior to migration presented a significant challenge for the security team. Their existing sandbox deployments were far too expensive and time-consuming to be effective, while their antivirus and deep learning solutions relied on detection, meaning they could only protect against previously seen threats. In addition, they knew these solutions would produce false negatives which would put the organization’s classified environment at risk from a data breach.
The security team also required a solution that could be flexible, they planned to work in bursts, creating large quantities of data without a regular pattern.
To meet these needs, and as there were no suitable out-of-the-box solutions, they turned to Glasswall.
Glasswall developed a bespoke Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) solution that utilized Azure elastic compute resources, at scale, to deliver a zero-trust cross-domain pre-processing capability. The solution was designed to enable the processing of files via Glasswall’s patented 4-step CDR process.
Intuitive REST-based API endpoints helped the security team to devise the most effective integration approach to meet their needs – enabling the organization to process gigantic amounts of data at lightning speed.
Glasswall worked with the technology company to successfully embed the solution within their cross-domain framework – enabling our CDR technology to quickly process large quantities of files – securing them against any malicious content present prior to migration.
The folder receiving the sanitized files was designed to automatically mirror any changes made to the source data container – ensuring the folder and file hierarchy was reflected correctly. Data paths were also retained to support a ‘chain of custody’ approach to data and risk management.
This project revolutionized the organization’s file protection capabilities – providing them with the ability to quickly, and reliably, process data at the petabyte scale with a zero-trust file protection solution.
The project’s success acted as a catalyst for the further development of the solution, a world-leading zero-trust CDR file import solution capable of delivering extremely high throughput:
