Challenge: The U.S. Army required modernization of a legacy ColdFusion-based application to ensure secure deployment in the field. The task involved containerizing the software for enhanced security and compliance while preserving functionality under stringent Department of Defense (DoD) security standards.
Solution:
Symposit provided a forward-thinking approach to modernize and secure the application:
- Containerization: Built a robust software container to package the ColdFusion application, enabling secure, field-ready deployment.
- Compliance First: Ensured the container adhered to Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs), meeting strict DoD security and operational standards.
- Legacy Application Adaptation: Successfully adapted the legacy app for modern deployment while maintaining its functionality and usability.
- Comprehensive Testing: Validated the application’s resilience under DoD security controls, addressing common challenges where security layers might disrupt functionality.
Results:
- Enhanced Security: Delivered a secure, compliant solution for deploying legacy software in field operations.
- Seamless Functionality: Ensured the application maintained performance despite the addition of advanced security measures.
- Modernized Approach: Enabled the Army to use a legacy application with modern tools, combining new technologies with existing systems for efficient operations.
Metrics:
- Secure Deployment: Developed a containerized application meeting all DoD STIG requirements.
- Operational Efficiency: Created a deployment process that ensured field operatives could use the software securely and effectively.
- Resilient Legacy Support: Successfully migrated legacy software to a modern, compliant architecture without disruptions.
