Background: Safeguarding Gourmet Excellence
DUOK, a Genians partner in Spain, is rapidly building its success by addressing common yet critical security challenges faced by the nation’s Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Their latest customer is a prestigious purveyor of high-quality, Basque-style aged beef, supplying gourmet products to restaurants and distributors across Europe. This firm’s reputation for excellence relies heavily on safeguarding sensitive business data, including supply chain logistics and client information.
Navigating Universal SME Security Challenges
Like many SMEs competing in the global market, the company faced a universal set of security challenges. Their primary concerns revolved around:
- Lack of Device Visibility: An inability to see all devices connecting to their network.
- Unmanaged Device Risks: The significant risk of unauthorized or unmanaged devices accessing sensitive business data.
The firm urgently needed a security solution that could be implemented quickly, without disrupting their time-sensitive operations. Crucially, it had to be easily managed by a small IT team, as complex, resource-intensive security projects were not a viable option.
Solution: Genian NAC – Fast Deployment, Clear Control
Guided by their trusted partner DUOK, the premium food supplier selected Genian NAC (On-Premise Enterprise edition). Their decision was primarily driven by Genian’s reputation for fast, accurate installation and straightforward maintenance, which perfectly aligned with their lean IT resources and operational constraints. Opting for the On-Premise Enterprise edition also ensured they maintained full, localized control over their security data and infrastructure.
The Genian NAC solution was deployed rapidly, providing immediate, actionable insights. It delivered:
- Complete and Accurate Device Inventory: Empowering the company with a real-time view of exactly who and what was connected to their network at all times.
- Foundational Access Controls: Enabling the enforcement of essential security policies to manage device access effectively.
This efficient implementation allowed the company to quickly establish a robust security baseline without disrupting their critical business operations.
Summary: Enhanced Data Protection, Future-Ready Security
The premium food supplier successfully addressed its core security challenges, gaining the essential visibility and control needed to protect its valuable business data and brand reputation. This deployment highlights how Genians effectively solves universal security problems for SMEs, offering powerful features without enterprise-level complexity. The remarkable ease of installation and maintenance was a key factor in their decision, ensuring a rapid return on investment.
A Clear Path to Advanced Zero Trust
While the company is currently satisfied with the robust NAC capabilities, their partner DUOK is actively monitoring their evolving security needs. DUOK plans to guide the customer toward leveraging Genians’ ZTNA features, demonstrating a clear path for future growth and enhanced Zero Trust security. This partnership exemplifies Genians’ commitment to providing scalable solutions that grow with a client’s security maturity.
