Challenges
As one of the largest law firms in the Czech Republic, with an international reach, the firm needed to maintain security; not just for their own network, but to maintain the security of confidential client information. The firm actively sought an advanced network security tool. The firm has multiple offices in major Czech cities.
- The need to secure confidential client information against malicious threats and espionage
- Visibility into devices in the network is very important
- Multiple office locations
Objectives
The firm was looking for a security monitoring solution which would work within the network, secure confidential client data, and manage the demands of their internal security policies.
Advantages
The firm considered offerings for several security vendors, some of which focus on flow and security monitoring. None of these could match MENDEL’s ability to provide security, visibility, and answer the challenges posed by the regulatory demands of legal practice with MENDEL’s cost and ease of implementation and operation.
- MENDEL outclassed other tested solutions in detection and visibility
- Helps the firm maintain policy compliance
Results
The firm is using the MENDEL All-in-one hardware appliance.
MENDEL is the prime monitoring solution for the firm’s multiple offices in major cities, and is able to provide data from each office into a central location.
It provides the robust security and detection capabilities that the firm needs.
MENDEL provides the firm’s security team with the ability to do the work of a larger team with fewer people; providing detection, visibility, and forensic analysis all in one location.
- Multiple offices secured from a single location
- Security and visibility demands are met
- Small team is able to conduct security as though the team was much larger
- Regulatory/legal compliance needs met
