The Solution

VectorCloud assessed SST Sensing’s requirements and put forward a complete proposal to host their Server infrastructure in a Virtualised environment using Microsoft Hyper-V.

Also implemented was a state of the art Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery solution which allows data or a whole server image to be restored within minutes to keep the business operational should a catastrophic hardware failure occur.

The Business Continuity platform is immune to 99.9% of Ransomware attacks and allows the business to continue to operate using virtualisation technology to restore a snapshot of their server, at any given hour, and allow users to continue to work as though the working instance of the server was still on their network. This solution, allows for the offending server to be repaired offline without impacting the business operation and then seamlessly brought back online.

In order to protect the internal network from malicious software, a fully featured Gateway Security and Content Filtering service was deployed via a SonicWALL Unified Threat Management appliance. This device allows customisable Web Content Filtering that aheres to SST’s company policies as well as helps to prevent Ransomware outbreaks by preventing firstly, the malicious software into the local network through heuristics scanning, and secondarily by preventing malicious Day Zero code from calling home to download the encryption keys through its advanced gateway security features.
