Sandia National Laboratories required expert assistance to strengthen its network security posture by installing and integrating a Palo Alto 7050 Enterprise Security Appliance. The project involved more than just deployment; Sandia needed a trusted partner to configure firewall policies and rules that would protect against unauthorized access, malicious traffic, and emerging security threats. Additionally, the organization required hands-on training for its IT staff and full support in managing the installation and integration process to ensure a smooth and effective transition.
Solution
Agiletek Solutions delivered comprehensive networking consulting services tailored to Sandia’s needs. The team successfully installed and integrated the Palo Alto 7050 Enterprise Security Appliance into the existing infrastructure. Once deployed, Agiletek configured advanced firewall policies and access rules to safeguard the network against external and internal threats. To ensure long-term operational success, Agiletek provided detailed training and documentation, equipping Sandia’s IT staff with the knowledge and confidence to independently manage and maintain the new system.
The engagement also included full project management support, with Agiletek coordinating the installation, integration, and ongoing knowledge transfer in collaboration with Sandia’s internal IT team. This holistic approach ensured that the new security platform was not only properly configured but also sustainable for the future.
Technologies Used
The project leveraged several advanced tools and platforms, including Palo Alto Networks, Splunk, Juniper SRX, and Active Directory. Together, these technologies provided a robust foundation for monitoring, securing, and managing Sandia’s enterprise network.
Results
Agiletek’s expertise in enterprise network security enabled Sandia National Laboratories to successfully integrate and operationalize a new enterprise-grade firewall solution. The deployment of the Palo Alto 7050, combined with the configuration of robust firewall policies, significantly enhanced the security and resilience of Sandia’s network. Furthermore, the comprehensive training and documentation provided empowered Sandia’s IT staff to independently manage and maintain the platform, ensuring long-term security, scalability, and self-sufficiency.
