West African Enterprise Group Gains One Operating Picture Across Its Hybrid Cloud With Ollandi
An enterprise group running private data centres and public cloud across West Africa uses Ollandi to manage dependencies, identity risk and response across both environments.
Summary
An enterprise group with data centres in two West African countries and workloads in public cloud deployed Ollandi to reason over both environments as one. Cross-environment incidents now start from a shared account of what changed and who owns the response, and every corrective action is approved and recorded.
Before Ollandi
- Directory, virtualization, storage, network and cloud teams each worked from separate tools.
- Dependencies between on-premises systems and cloud services were not mapped.
- Incidents began with meetings to establish ownership.
- On-premises identity changes that granted cloud access went unreviewed.
- Data localization rules required some systems to stay on premises, adding to the complexity.
After Ollandi
- A live model of directories, hosts, storage, databases, configuration and the links between data centres and cloud regions.
- Each degraded component is shown with the customer-facing services it affects and the team that owns the next action.
- Privileged identity changes are traced to the cloud permissions they grant and raised for review with that path attached.
- Recommended actions, such as reverting a configuration or suspending a session, are executed only after operator approval and verified afterwards.
- A complete record of each approved action is available to auditors and regulators.
Deployment
- Product: Ollandi with the On-Premises and Network Domain Intelligence Packs and cloud coverage.
- Deployed alongside existing tooling as a reasoning layer.
- Operating control: Assisted Response. An authorized operator approves every action.
By the numbers
Measured across Glemad's production deployments and published in the the earlier model research research paper:
- Mean time to respond: 2.1 minutes, against an industry average of 420 minutes.
- False positive rate: 1.2%, against an industry average of 23.5%.
These figures come from environments with mature telemetry and defined policy baselines. Results depend on the quality of the telemetry available.
