Clarks boosts cybersecurity efforts with Check Point Software Technologies

Clarks has overhauled its cybersecurity estate with the deployment of Check Point Software Technologies’ Infinity Unified Management, Harmony, Quantum and CloudGuard solutions.

"We already had a great relationship with Check Point Software, and that made our decision easy. We opted for Check Point Quantum Security Gateways as they allow us to consolidate and simplify our security operations,” says Dan Fletcher, Network Service Manager at Clarks

“We now have increased the overall level of protection, while also reducing the work needed to manage security policies and rules by more than 50%.”

"The URL filtering has been especially useful. It detects and prevents web access security events, and SSL inspection technology scans and secures SSL/TLS encrypted traffic,” adds Paul Davey, Infrastructure Service Specialist at Clarks.

“As a result, we were able to eliminate seven internet proxies we were using around the world."

“It’s fantastic to see that Clarks has chosen our solutions for its security overhaul, gaining not just simplified management and better threat prevention and visibility, but improved cost efficiencies too,” says Ian Porteous, Regional Director, Security Engineering, UK&I at Check Point Software.

“Clarks' infrastructure now has state-of-the-art protection against known and unknown cyberattacks and threats, and the automated security functions that will reduce the time to identify and remediate threats, allowing the team to make decisions more quickly and efficiently.”
