Overview
A government agency in the Middle East handled close to 20 TB of data distributed across 40–50 databases and storage devices.
Traditional encryption methods were no longer sufficient to safeguard sensitive information belonging to both the organization and private individuals.
The agency’s internal PKI device also exposed data at the mother-key level, creating additional risk across its infrastructure.
Ahlan Cyber analyzed the agency’s critical data landscape and identified vulnerabilities across existing encryption layers. The team recommended a data-in-motion encryption framework with dynamic key allocation to secure information in real time. Beyond securing data paths, multiple layers of protection were deployed across Layers 2, 3, and 4 to ensure end-to-end data confidentiality and integrity.
Ahlan's Solution
The agency achieved a 95% reduction in its attack surface.Dynamic key allocation strengthened protection at every level, securing sensitive data in transit and at rest while ensuring consistent control across all connected systems.
