Case Study: Large Provincial Government achieves secure private cloud micro-segmentation with Hillstone Networks CloudHive

Hillstone CloudHive Secures Private Cloud for a Large Provincial Government

A large provincial government running a private cloud with more than 30 servers and 300+ virtual machines needed better protection for its web hosting and e-government services. Its environment had little to no segmentation between departments and critical workloads, creating major risk of lateral movement after breaches, and the team turned to Hillstone Networks for a simpler security approach using CloudHive.

Hillstone Networks implemented CloudHive micro-segmentation through vCenter without disrupting the existing network or requiring changes to switches, firewalls, or VMs. The solution delivered visibility into traffic and threats across the virtual network, detected more than 80,000 previously unseen threat events, and helped administrators identify and stop abnormal activity between servers. As a result, the government could apply security policies based on business priority and better protect highly classified assets.
