Case Study: Aerospace Leader retains full data custody with Symmetry Systems

Aerospace Leader deploys Symmetry in an air-gapped environment with zero data egress

An aerospace agency faced critical data security challenges as it modernized its IT infrastructure, needing to protect invaluable intellectual property and mission-critical data without any third-party vendor access. The stringent security protocols required a solution that could operate entirely within its air-gapped environment. The agency selected Symmetry Systems for its Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platform due to its unique deployment model that ensures full data custody.

Symmetry Systems implemented its solution with a deployment that required no external connections, allowing the agency's own engineers to deploy it using container images within their isolated infrastructure. This resulted in comprehensive data discovery, identity analysis, and continuous monitoring with no supply chain risk. The solution successfully met all of the agency's stringent compliance and governance requirements, validating that Symmetry could operate effectively in a fully air-gapped setting.
