Pro Resources Consulting started their business as a niche player building a Security Operation Center (SOC) on the cloud. This is where Huawei Cloud’s cloud native offerings were able to help them.
The company implemented a robust architecture that integrated various cloud native security services, such as threat intelligence, identity and access management, and real-time monitoring, to ensure comprehensive protection of their systems and data. With this approach, Pro Resources Consulting enhanced agility and responsiveness, enabling them to quickly adapt to evolving security threats and effectively respond to incidents. By migrating their SOC to the cloud, Pro Resources Consulting strengthened their security posture while streamlining operations, ultimately providing their customers with a more secure and reliable technology ecosystem.
Pro Resources Consulting is now protected by full security awareness capabilities, including anti-DDoS, software and hardware WAF, and host + database security, in addition to a long list of other offerings. Intelligent risk control prevents scalpers, attacks, and verification code brute-force cracking, helping mitigate transactional risks, thwart would-be hackers, and prevent pricing manipulations.
Below are the key cloud native services they used:
- NAT Gateway
- Web Application Firewall (WAF)
- Anti-DDoS
- Host Security Services (HSS)
- Virtual Private Network (VPN)

As a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), Pro Resources Consulting found it a constant headache to manage multiple stacks simultaneously. Having their stacks on the cloud and enabling sharing between clients have significantly enhanced the below KPIs:
Uptime
Their uptime has significantly enhanced since they are managing a centralized stack and doing concentrated health check and maintenance.
MTTR and MTTD
The mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR) were reduced since resource sharing and auto scaling allowed them to utilize Huawei Cloud resources in a reasonable and cost-effective way.
Efficiency
Their efficiency was dramatically enhanced since they were able to offer their stack with no infrastructure needed for the client side. Also, they can utilize their technical resources focusing on the cyber operations instead of managing multiple systems at client premises.
Cost
