Unified Security Implementation for Defence Organization
How we implemented a comprehensive cybersecurity solution using Appdirs platform to protect critical defence infrastructure and classified information
Project Overview
A leading defence organization required a unified security solution to protect their critical infrastructure, classified data, and communication systems from sophisticated cyber threats. The organization operates multiple facilities across the country with over 10,000 endpoints and numerous classified networks.
Our objective was to implement a zero-trust security architecture using the Appdirs unified platform, ensuring comprehensive protection while maintaining operational efficiency and meeting stringent defence security standards.
Security Challenges
- Advanced Persistent Threats: Constant targeting by nation-state actors and sophisticated cybercriminal groups
- Complex Infrastructure: Multiple air-gapped networks, legacy systems, and diverse endpoint types
- Compliance Requirements: Strict adherence to defence security protocols and data classification standards
- Insider Threats: Need for comprehensive monitoring and control of privileged access

Key Security Achievements
- Detected and prevented multiple sophisticated APT attempts targeting classified systems
- Achieved complete visibility across all endpoints and network segments
- Reduced mean time to detect (MTTD) from hours to minutes
- Successfully passed all government security audits and penetration tests
“The implementation of Appdirs' unified security platform by Buffercode has transformed our security posture. We now have unprecedented visibility and control over our entire infrastructure, with the ability to detect and respond to threats in real-time. This has been crucial in protecting our national security interests.”
