Cloud Workload Protection Success Story
Customer : A Large Automotive Enterprise
Project : Dynamic Asset Governance and Active Defense Project
Challenges
As a leading enterprise in China’s automotive electronics industry, Desay SV depends heavily on core R&D and global operations in intelligent driving, intelligent cockpits, and related sectors. The company has established seven R&D centers across Europe and Southeast Asia.
With its IT architecture rapidly transitioning toward cloud and container environments, Desay SV faces significant challenges in maintaining visibility into cloud infrastructure and unifying its operations and maintenance strategies. These shifts have exposed critical data assets—such as autonomous driving algorithms, user information, and supply chain data—stored in cloud hosts to heightened ransomware risks, with incidents already reported.

Solution
Utilize CloudGuard’s asset and risk management features to help O&M teams swiftly identify ransomware breach points, apply virtual patches to harden exploitable vulnerabilities, and enforce strict access controls via host firewalls to mitigate lateral movement risks.
Counter unknown threats and ransomware with kernel-level virus detection that eliminates malicious files upon disk write, while performing vulnerability remediation without disrupting services—ensuring continuous protection.
Manage unified security policies and visualize operations across large-scale virtual machines, containers, and hybrid cloud environments—all through a single, centralized console.
Results
-
East-west micro-segmentation enforces strict access controls between business servers, preventing lateral movement and containing intranet threats.
-
Integrated vulnerability lifecycle management combines inventory, real-time behavioral monitoring, and automated threat response to build a proactive defense system.
-
Global deployment covers the headquarters, branches, and seven R&D centers—reducing alert fatigue and empowering the security team to focus on advanced threat analysis.
