Modernizing Security and Infrastructure for a Global Media Organization

By Behan Venter, CTO, Hudson Cloud Systems

Hudson Cloud Systems partnered with a major global media company to strengthen and modernize the technology foundation supporting its broadcast and enterprise environments. What began as a network visibility initiative evolved into a comprehensive engagement spanning infrastructure, security, and operational resilience. Our team deployed and integrated ExtraHop network analytics to deliver real-time visibility into system performance and potential anomalies, helping the organization gain deeper insight into its environment and improve response times.

As the partnership grew, Hudson Cloud Systems provided on-site consulting focused on identity management and security posture improvement. This work included auditing directory structures, refining access controls, and developing policies for managing privileged accounts and automation tools securely. Our engineers also collaborated with internal teams to enhance the integration between ExtraHop and directory services, improving authentication consistency and ensuring complete visibility across multiple domains.

The outcome was a more unified, secure, and resilient infrastructure capable of supporting mission-critical broadcast operations with confidence. Through technical depth, disciplined execution, and close collaboration, Hudson Cloud Systems helped the organization achieve stronger security, clearer insight, and a future-ready foundation for continued innovation.

Key Results:

• Improved visibility and response through ExtraHop network analytics integration

• Strengthened identity and access governance across multiple environments

• Enhanced infrastructure reliability supporting broadcast and enterprise operations
