Case Study: ViaSat achieves secure, real-time mission operations inside the air gap with Sift

ViaSat protects 5,800 turbines with Sift in air-gapped operations

The customer is Viasat, a global communications company specializing in satellite communications. Their challenge was the need to operate secure, air-gapped networks for mission-critical operations, which created significant workflow friction. Software updates were cumbersome, and their teams lacked the advanced analytics capabilities of Sift's observability platform inside this isolated environment.

Sift deployed its observability platform on-premises to meet Viasat's stringent security requirements. The solution eliminated data latency by processing information locally and provided continuous observability for critical hardware testing. As a result, Viasat's teams gained real-time root-cause analysis capabilities during missions and can now securely share data across the organization, all while maintaining their necessary air gap.
