Transforming Distributed Surveillance with Secure, Zero Trust Connectivity
From Legacy Networking to Modern, Software-Only Zero Trust Networking
Obstacle
As LVT’s customer base grew, so did its network infrastructure. With cameras deployed across diverse environments and relying on cellular networks, managing security, cloud costs, and operational complexity became increasingly difficult. VPNs, firewalls, and legacy networking solutions could not meet LVT’s stringent security and operational demands, while backhauling data increased costs and risked delays.
Opportunity
LVT found a solution with NetFoundry’s zero trust, software-only networking. NetFoundry’s AppNets eliminated reliance on insecure customer networks, VPNs, and backhauling, allowing LVT to use any available network, including Wi-Fi and private 5G, while maintaining top-tier security. AppNets provide identity-based access controls, making connected assets invisible to attackers and ensuring secure data transmission across any network.
Outcome
LVT dramatically reduced cellular and cloud egress costs, improved operational efficiency through centralized telemetry and automation, and enhanced security by adopting a zero implicit trust architecture. By moving to a software-only solution, LVT ensured its surveillance systems could adapt to any network, providing secure, high-quality services across the globe.
