Overview
The company, a global leader in smart building and commercial automation, relies on RabbitMQ as the messaging backbone for their commercial automation platform. With thousands of on-premises deployments across their customer base running older RabbitMQ versions, they needed a structured CVE patching strategy to maintain security compliance and ensure ongoing vulnerability coverage.
Challenge
The company's commercial automation platform uses RabbitMQ across thousands of on-premises customer installations, creating a massive patching surface area. Running older community RabbitMQ versions left deployments without CVE patching coverage, security updates, or guaranteed SLA response times. The sheer number of installations required an approach that could scale patching efficiently without requiring individual site visits or disruptive full-version upgrades.
Environment
Thousands of on-premises deployments at customer sites, older community RabbitMQ versions, MQTT integration for IoT device communication, global customer base.
Approach
AceMQ worked with the client through multiple evaluation phases: environment assessment, compliance gap analysis, and patching strategy design. AceMQ developed a tailored CVE patching program with tiered SLA support that provides vulnerability coverage and compliance assurance — including real-time CVE alerting, quarterly health checks, and a clear upgrade roadmap to bring deployments to supported LTS versions over time.
Solution
- 1Comprehensive compliance gap analysis across thousands of RabbitMQ installations
- 2Structured CVE patching program with phased rollout across deployment tiers
- 3Real-time CVE alerting and vulnerability management
- 4Tiered SLA support packages with options for 24/7 coverage and rapid response
- 5Quarterly health checks and proactive environment assessment
- 6Upgrade roadmap to supported RabbitMQ LTS versions (3.13.10+) through 2027
Outcome
AceMQ delivered a tailored CVE patching strategy that provides the client with ongoing vulnerability coverage, SLA-backed response times, and a clear compliance roadmap — all scaled to fit thousands of distributed on-premises deployments with quarterly health checks and continuous monitoring.
