Socially Determined must adhere to strict security policies to protect data, manage risk, and meet HIPAA standards.
Challenge:
Socially Determined faced challenges like securely managing employee access across clouds, manual and time-consuming filtering rules, limited network visibility due to native cloud constructs, and relying on a complex mix of tools for detecting and mitigating security threats.
Solution:
Aviatrix delivered Socially Determined centralized control over internet-bound traffic using FQDN filtering, allowing enhanced visibility into accessed services. Aviatrix actively monitored for emerging threats while automatically remediating identified issues. Furthermore, Aviatrix CoPilot provided a global operational view, ensuring efficient network troubleshooting and management.
Impact:
Aviatrix provided Socially Determined with time savings, enhanced compliance audits, and improved team efficiency, enabling focus on critical business initiatives and customer satisfaction.
“We started using Aviatrix as a point solution, thinking strictly about FQDN and how to mitigate the risk of external traffic. We soon realized that implementing a spoke and hub model with a multicloud network data plane was equally important for improving our security posture.”

Gaining Full Visibility to Troubleshoot and Mitigate Threats Efficiently
One of the team’s primary challenges was overcoming the native constructs of its cloud provider that made it difficult and time-consuming to gain network visibility. Using Aviatrix CoPilot, the team remedied this problem as it gained a global operational view of the network that was unlike anything available from its native cloud networking services. With CoPilot, the team was able to identify disruptions or other issues within the network and troubleshoot quickly.
The team also implemented Aviatrix for improved risk mitigation. These tools helped the team to not only gain full visibility into the network through an intelligent network data plane, but to also automatically remediate threats as soon as the platform identified them. This combination of detection and prevention helped the team realize immense time savings as they no longer had to manually search through logs or try to make sense of data derived from various sources to identify threats.
More Time to Drive Business-Critical Initiatives
By centralizing all this important data into one place where the team could review or export it as needed, Aviatrix freed up time for the team to allocate resources toward other business-critical initiatives. Aviatrix also made compliance audits much less burdensome as the team could provide requested information from auditors more quickly and easily than ever before.
Pummalee says that the biggest benefit his team has realized from Aviatrix is gaining back their time, which has a positive impact on both the organization and its customers
