Key Statistics
Overview
This global media company with more than $3 billion USD in annual revenue provides clients with unique advertising services around the world via print and digital ads. With a diverse client list, the organization has customers in the entertainment, food service, telecommunications, sports, and retail industries.
Fortune 500 Media Company's Challenge
The company, a member of the Fortune 500, aimed to increase efficiency and its security posture by migrating to the cloud. A highly distributed organization with a cloud-first strategy, IT wanted to employ a Zero Trust network model to consolidate security and minimize cybersecurity risks across regions. Up until that point, various business units used disparate on-prem, perimeter-based solutions that lacked a unified approach to network security.
The company wanted to implement a SaaS offering to centralize administration and auditing functions while lowering operating costs. Further, users needed a cloud-based, scalable platform to support different operating systems and environments, including Linux, for IoT devices.
Fortune 500 Media Company's iboss Solution
The iboss Zero Trust SASE Platform was chosen as the organization's global core, cloud-based SaaS proxy and firewall solution. The platform ensured IT could easily manage log data across geographies to maintain business and regulatory compliance. All users transitioned to iboss, while control was delegated to local administrators using the company's role-based access control (RBAC) model.
The company integrated iboss with its Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps instance to gain insight into data in transit for cloud application usage. Further, the organization also leveraged cloud-delivered FireEye Cloud Network Security, which is only available through the iboss Zero Trust SASE Platform, to protect against the most advanced threats and data breaches. This offering safeguards all users, regardless of their location or device.
