This customer spotlight highlights a large enterprise insurance company that adopted NeuVector Prime to address security and compliance concerns in its Kubernetes environment, seeking a comprehensive, open source solution that provided visibility, runtime security and network protection across the container lifecycle. NeuVector Prime enabled the company to save time, mitigate risks, verify threats and implement effective solutions, while also opening up new perspectives on cluster activity.
At-a-Glance
The feedback featured in this spotlight was collected and verified through a survey of SUSE's customers, conducted by UserEvidence, an independent research firm.
Challenges
Having identified security concerns with its Kubernetes environment, the company decided to adopt NeuVector Prime after evaluating several other options. It needed a solution that not only addressed its security concerns but also met stringent compliance standards, provided auditability and supported a 100% open source model. Additionally, a Zero Trust approach, which enabled it to move beyond traditional perimeter-based security, was vital to its strategy. NeuVector Prime offered the comprehensive end-to-end container security and increased cluster visibility the business needed to fulfill its fully cloud native strategy. What’s more, it also integrated seamlessly with the company's existing Rancher Prime Kubernetes orchestrator.
"We were looking for a solution that would comprehensively cover the area and address the requirements for the security layer in the case of container solutions. That's why we ultimately chose NeuVector Prime - the perfect tool for defining and managing the security of container platforms across all their components and lifecycles. NeuVector Prime addresses most of our security and compliance needs. In our opinion, it is currently the best and most comprehensive solution on the market."
Solution
NeuVector Prime helps the company tackle its Kubernetes security challenges with ease and confidence. By offering multi-layer protection for containers, networks and hosts, NeuVector Prime provides the visibility and control the company needs. Pipeline vulnerability scanning in the build phase and registries provide peace of mind, while CIS security benchmarks ensure compliance is always met. The addition of a layer 7 firewall and real-time vulnerability scanning offers robust defense against potential threats, both within its clusters and at the network level. With admission controls preventing vulnerable images from deployment, NeuVector Prime allows the company to confidently secure its Kubernetes environment while smoothly transitioning to a fully cloud native strategy.
Outcomes
"The use of NeuVector Prime has created completely new perspectives of awareness of what is happening on our clusters, saving a lot of time and giving us tools to perform tasks that would normally take much longer. It also shortens the time needed to mitigate risks, verify new threats and implement effective solutions." - Senior IT Specialist
