Our company's main use case for Skybox Security Suite is typically for user architects. Since our company primarily serves enterprise clients, Skybox is often used as a cost-effective solution.
We're reselling it and also assisting with installations. It's become more popular in the last few years. Because even though Serbia is relatively small, it has suffered from hacker attacks. We thought we weren't such an important country. So companies are looking for security solutions. And after the basic ones like firewalls and endpoint protection, they're now looking for more. For example, robust solutions that bring additional security. And Skybox Security is one of them. It's aimed at larger customers with more assets, like one thousand desktops, servers, and a larger network infrastructure. So, it's a good tool for them to accomplish several things. Skybox consists of four modules. One is called Firewall Assurance. The other one is Network Assurance. Then there's Change Management, and the last one is Vulnerability Management. So if the company has several firewalls, and probably or potentially firewalls from different producers or manufacturers, they can check all those firewalls together. So at the same time, for several things, like if the policies/rules are made properly and if there are some shadow rules, For example, if there are some rules that have not been used for a long time, Then it can also look for the compliance of the rules or of the configuration of the firewalls in the sense of compliance to some of the standards—security standards, and so on. So the customers can manage and check the configuration on several firewalls, especially when there are more than 20 to 30 firewalls, to check if everything is okay with the security of those with the configuration. And the security of those firewalls.

Our company uses the solution to provide firewall and vulnerability management for customers. We work with our customer's IT and cybersecurity departments to determine the use case such as viral assurance, network assurance, and change management. We have implemented the solution for 60 customers. We provide firewall management for customers who can afford to purchase the Skybox firewall model. Most of our use cases are implementing Skybox Control as a firewall tool. We provide customers with more focus so they can understand attack vectors and whether they come from different parts of a network or a partner workforce. The vulnerability control determines how we operate with an attack vector. For example, we might close ports, close some vectors, or patch software.
Skybox Security Suite is used for security assessments. They have a central part of the security solution that aggregates assets and layers. It's an all-around solution for the security posture.

Our clients are using it from the firewall assurance perspective. They want to do an audit of their firewalls. So, the use cases are related to policy audit, such as which shadow rules they have and which rules are not getting utilized. We are recommending the latest version to our clients because sometimes, a lot of integrations are required with respect to different firewalls and virtual devices. If we are using an old version, some of the things are not getting integrated. That's why we are going with the latest or the latest minus one version. To my knowledge, most of the deployments that we have done are on-prem.
