Protection Against Web-based Threats
Company: Transplace
Industry: Transportation
Location: Frisco, Texas
Company size: 1000+ employees
Challenge
Transplace provides transportation management and logistics solutions to some of the world's largest shippers. To keep customer and company data safe, Transplace needs to protect end-user devices against web-based malware and advanced threats. About one-third of the company's employees work outside of headquarters.
The Solution
Transplace defends against web-based threats—before, during, and after attacks—using Cisco Cloud Web Security (CWS) Premium. The solution includes Advanced Malware Protection and Cognitive Threat Analytics. The IT team sets web-use policies and views reports with CWS.
Outcomes
Transplace has discovered and remediated multiple threats that its antivirus software missed. It's easy to generate reports about security incidents and web usage. And the cloud solution conserves valuable WAN bandwidth because web traffic from remote users doesn’t have to travel to the data center for analysis.
A couple of the main differentiators with CWS Premium are the threat intelligence of AMP and CTA as well as the ability to drill into the command and control communications.- Scott Engel,
Director of IT Infrastructure, Transplace
