Background: Forging Trust in National Defense Security
Genians boasts a long and proven history of providing robust network security to South Korea’s most critical public and military institutions. This extensive, real-world experience within the demanding defense sector was a key factor in securing a landmark project with a major national defense command in Thailand. The successful outcome was the result of a nearly two-year strategic effort.
This critical project was secured in close partnership with Bluezebra, a leading technology solutions provider in Thailand. Bluezebra’s strong local presence and trusted relationships within the nation’s defense, finance, and education sectors were instrumental in demonstrating Genians’ capabilities and enabling this large-scale, mission-critical deployment.
Meeting the Highest Standards for Defense Network Security
As a vital national defense organization, the command required a Network Access Control (NAC) solution capable of meeting the highest standards of security, scalability, and operational resilience. The primary challenges included:
- Comprehensive Visibility: Gaining a complete, accurate, and real-time view of every device across a massive and diverse network infrastructure, eliminating blind spots.
- Multi-layered Access Control: Enforcing granular, context-aware access policies to ensure only authorized personnel and trusted devices could access sensitive network segments.
- Endpoint Compliance: Continuously monitoring the security posture of thousands of endpoints to ensure they comply with strict security mandates before and after gaining network access.
Due to the mission-critical nature of the environment, an on-premise deployment was a mandatory requirement to ensure maximum data sovereignty and control within their secure perimeter.
Solution: Genian NAC – Expertise Meets Mission-Critical Needs
Following a comprehensive evaluation, the national defense command selected Genian NAC (On-Premise Enterprise Edition) to secure thousands of nodes across its network. Genians’ deep understanding of military operational requirements, combined with the solution’s proven technical capabilities, proved to be the winning formula.
The platform directly addressed the command’s core challenges by delivering:
- 360-Degree Visibility: Providing a unified platform to see and classify all IP-enabled devices, eliminating network blind spots across their extensive infrastructure.
- Granular Access Control: Implementing precise, multi-layered policies based on user, role, device type, and compliance status, ensuring only authorized access to sensitive segments.
- Automated Compliance: Ensuring all endpoints meet security requirements before being granted access and continuously monitoring them for ongoing threats and policy adherence.
The on-premise architecture ensures all security operations and data remain within the command’s secure perimeter, fully meeting their stringent data sovereignty and control demands.
Summary: Enhanced National Defense, Global Impact
The national defense organization has significantly enhanced its cybersecurity posture, gaining centralized command and control over its complex network. This successful, large-scale deployment reinforces the powerful synergy between Genians’ proven defense sector domain expertise and Bluezebra’s strong local market leadership.
Paving the Way for Future Security Innovations
This project establishes a strong foundation for future collaborations, with Bluezebra actively working to introduce Genians’ solutions to other critical entities within Thailand. Furthermore, Genians will leverage the insights and use cases from this demanding deployment to continuously innovate its offerings for defense sector clients globally, sharing advancements with its established customer base in South Korea and beyond.
