Background: Fishmonger's Company, a historic organization in the heart of London, already had commendable security measures in place. However, with the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape, they aimed to further strengthen their network security to safeguard their valuable data and ensure seamless operations.
Challenge: Despite their existing security infrastructure, Fishmonger's Company sought to stay ahead of sophisticated cyber threats. They needed a cutting-edge solution that could provide an additional layer of protection without disrupting their current operations.
Solution: Fishmonger's Company collaborated with their trusted IT partner, Advantage, to implement Check Point's Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution. Advantage seamlessly integrated SASE into their existing infrastructure, combining advanced network security with wide-area networking (WAN) capabilities to enhance the overall security posture.
Check Point's Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution is designed to integrate network security and wide-area networking (WAN) capabilities into a single, cloud-hosted service. Here are the key functionalities:
- Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA): Moves from implicit trust to explicit identity-based access controls, improving security, speed, and user experience.
- Secure Web Gateway (SWG): Provides secure internet access to non-business web applications and services, leveraging unified threat prevention solutions.
- Branch Firewall as a Service (FWaaS): Delivers scalable, consistent security across multiple sites by moving firewall functionality to the cloud.
- Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB): Offers in-line and API-based SaaS security with data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities and advanced threat prevention.
- Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN): Decouples networking logic from physical network links and optimally routes traffic to its destination.
By combining these features, Check Point's SASE solution ensures secure and efficient access to applications and data, regardless of location
Results: With Check Point's SASE solution in place, implemented by Advantage, Fishmonger's Company experienced a significant boost in their network security. The integrated approach provided robust protection against advanced threats while ensuring efficient and secure access to applications and data.
Gareth Coulthard, Head of IT/Communications at Fishmonger's Company: "Partnering with Advantage to implement Check Point's SASE solution has been a vital step in elevating our security measures. The added protection has reinforced our confidence in our network's resilience. It's reassuring to know that our data and operations are well-guarded."
Conclusion: Fishmonger's Company's collaboration with Advantage to adopt Check Point's SASE solution showcases the benefits of leveraging advanced security technologies to enhance existing measures. The successful integration has fortified Fishmonger's Company's network against emerging threats, ensuring continued secure and efficient business operations.
