Progressive’s off-the-shelf standards and exclusive innovations are designed to speed mold builds, reduce costs, and minimize downtime, with availability through direct distribution and authorized dealers throughout the world.

Challenge

Progressive Components organization comprises multiple business areas. Each of those has access to certain systems and resources that are vital to their company’s viability and competitive edge. With that comes risk. Malicious actors inside or outside of the organization may try to disrupt or destroy critical systems, causing revenue loss or compromising sensitive information. Being a follower of cutting-edge technologies, Progressive components leveraged Cloud 9 to review and benchmark their operations to identify acute and potential vulnerabilities that put valuable data in harm’s way.

Solution

Progressive Components’ IT resources are provisioned in a pure Public cloud architecture, where the only hardware is personal computing devices, printers, and network equipment to provide local office and internet connectivity. A mix of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions provide the information technology services they need to run their business.

They have a public-facing e-commerce website hosted on a virtual machine in Azure and all their virtual machines, SQL Databases, virtual networks, and other resources are hosted securely in the Azure Cloud.
