Case Study: Jive Secures Government Data and Wins Federal Trust with ProtectWise

Collaboration Software Company Secures Sensitive Data in the AWS GovCloud to Gain the Trust of Government Customers

Jive, a collaboration software company, sought to enter the Federal government market but faced significant security challenges. As a cloud-based product hosted on AWS, it needed to meet stringent government requirements without costly re-architecting. The restrictive AWS GovCloud environment hampered visibility, creating a major roadblock. ProtectWise was identified as the vendor that could help address this challenge.

Jive deployed the ProtectWise Grid, a native cloud security platform, using lightweight sensors in its AWS GovCloud production environment. This provided complete visibility and continuous monitoring of network traffic, which was crucial for gaining the trust of government agencies. As a result, ProtectWise enabled Jive to successfully enter the new federal market by ensuring sensitive data was secure, surfacing only critical threats with context, and reducing false positives for more efficient investigations.
