Ghost6

Gallagher Security had a market-leading, military-grade solution for physical access control and perimeter protection. This included various application software, firmware, and hardware components deployed globally in high-risk environments.

Gallagher recognized their strong software engineering capabilities for on-premise industrial IoT applications but needed expertise in adopting public and hybrid cloud, microservice architecture, and an event-based distributed model for their next-generation software.

Our Role

Enabling Gallagher's Cloud-Native Transformation

GHOST6 facilitated Gallagher's transition to a cloud-native, event-driven architecture:

Implemented a comprehensive test strategy with template-driven automation to ensure quality and security throughout the SDLC.
Implemented automated measures to mitigate sophisticated threats like industrial espionage and state-sponsored actors.
Provided technology consultancy to define Gallagher's cloud and open-source strategies for redeveloping the Command Center product as a REST API-centric, cloud-native SaaS offering.
Assisted in designing and delivering REST APIs, API management, and security infrastructure for the Gallagher Command Centre, Mobile Connect app, and the Gallagher Fuel Systems cloud-based fuel distribution management system.
Built all applications using an event-driven microservice architecture to handle real-time data from IoT components and eliminate bottlenecks. Security testing on APIs found no issues.
