The Challenge
Alrov Luxury Hotels, an Israeli hotel operator with properties in the UK, Netherlands, France, and Israel, was faced with the challenge of strengthening endpoint security to protect guest and operational data. The company's key properties, The Mamilla Hotel and the David Citadel Hotel, both located in Jerusalem, aim to provide a flawless hospitality experience for guests, which includes safeguarding guests’ data, preferences, and credentials. The challenge was to allow staff to work fluently, with a seamless user experience, while ensuring that all IT systems are managed, updated, and secured. As part of an international group of companies, Alrov needed to secure a complex, distributed IT environment across multiple sites.
About The Customer
Alrov Luxury Hotels is an Israeli hotel operator for the SET Hotels in Europe and for The Mamilla Hotel and the David Citadel Hotel in Jerusalem. The company is a developer, owner, and operator of luxury hotels with properties in the UK, Netherlands, France, and Israel. It is part of Alrov Properties and Lodgings, a real estate developer with projects in Europe, the Middle East, and North America. The company is looking at further expansion, acquiring landmark properties in tourism hotspots in New York and Western Europe.
The Solution
After a detailed analysis of the cybersecurity market, Alrov Luxury Hotels deployed Check Point SandBlast Agent® in early 2019. The decision was influenced by the need for simplified management, as Alrov operates across multiple sites with a small cybersecurity team. The cloud management aspect of Check Point SandBlast Agent was key, allowing the team to control all endpoints from one central location. Check Point SandBlast Agent is an endpoint security product designed to prevent the latest fifth-generation (Gen V) cyber-attacks, targeting enterprise endpoints, servers, laptops, and desktops. The product includes threat prevention tools that protect Mamilla Hotel and David Citadel from known and unknown endpoint threats.
Operational Impact
  • The deployment of Check Point SandBlast Agent has provided Alrov Luxury Hotels with an end-to-end, hands-free solution that includes SandBlast security deployment, seamless management, automatic updates of security engines, premium automatic zero-day phishing detection, response, and remediation. This has not only enhanced the security of the company's IT systems but also reduced the strain on the in-house cybersecurity team. The solution has enabled the team to work fluently, with a seamless user experience, while having the assurance that all IT systems are managed, updated, and secured. This has been critical in securing a complex, distributed IT environment across multiple sites.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Deployed 250 endpoints with Check Point SandBlast Agent
  • Plans to deploy an additional 400 endpoints for the SET hotels in Europe
  • Centralized management of all endpoints from one location
