CHALLENGE:
Reigning in security management and reducing complexities at remote sites.
SOLUTION:
Palo Alto Networks PA-3020 and PA500’s, simplifies security at Data Center and advanced security policy deployment for the remote offices
RESULTS:
Simplify network security with powerful security controls, ease of use and powerful reporting. Visibility into the specific identity of each application helps enforce appropriate usage policies. Use of non-work related applications like P2P and Internet gaming has been stopped. A wide range of malware and application vulnerability exploits are being blocked. Operational costs have been reduced dramatically.
Ease of Use and Application Controls Help Carling Technologies ‘Stick it’ to Network Security Threats
BACKGROUND
Carling Technologies Inc., founded in 1920 and home of the Carlingswitch brand, has a diverse line of products that serve a multitude of markets. Many of these products have become recognized standards around the globe. Carling Technologies has four ISO …show more content…
Investigating threats, once a laborious task involving multiple devices, was now a simple and straight forward process of filtering logs and viewing reports. According to Chris, “not knowing which applications were running on the network is a big hole—particularly when it is at a remote site where there is typically less control. With the Palo Alto Networks firewall, we are able to identify the exact application running on the network, all the way down to the user identity. And as needed, we can implement policy controls to protect the network.” Chris concludes, “we have deployed a single security appliance where we had originally planned on using multiple disparate devices and that has reduced the management complexity significantly, without compromising our
