The Pain Points: Securing a Retail Empire
SLOT’s vast network of stores demanded robust security measures. However, their existing system faced critical limitations
Lack of comprehensive monitoring
SLOT lacked a central system for monitoring their network activity, making it difficult to identify and address potential security threats.
No proper alert system
Without a robust alert system, it was challenging to react promptly to security incidents, potentially leading to downtime and data breaches.
Integration with Active Directory for proper management
Managing user access and permissions across their network was cumbersome without proper integration with Active Directory.
The Game Changer
Previously, SLOT relied on manual processes and fragmented solutions for network security.
This made it difficult to maintain a comprehensive view of their network and respond effectively to threats. Reliance Infosystems, a trusted partner, assessed SLOT’s needs and recommended the deployment of Sophos Firewall.
Sophos Firewall is a next-generation firewall that provides comprehensive network security protection. The implementation process was meticulously planned, designed, and deployed to align with SLOT’s specific needs, ensuring a seamless transition and enhanced security measures.
