Incedo Inc., a U.S.-based digital transformation consulting, data science, and technology services firm, faced a significant challenge in consolidating multiple point solutions from different security vendors. The company needed to unify its cloud security defenses and management across a multi-cloud architecture. Additionally, it required better run-time visibility into endpoints to reduce risk. With a global presence, Incedo supports multiple, distributed cloud environments, some of which are pure cloud, while others are hybrid models that share data and workloads between the cloud and on-premises data centers. The company maintains separate environments for itself in addition to segregated environments for each client. Each environment was protected by traditional perimeter and endpoint solutions from multiple vendors. However, as the global threat environment quickly evolved, interoperability issues made it difficult to orchestrate policy and visibility across the different security solutions.

Incedo Inc. is a U.S.-based digital transformation consulting, data science, and analytics, and technology services and solutions firm. The company helps clients achieve competitive advantage through end-to-end data science, analytics, and technology services and solutions. By combining strong engineering, data science, and design capabilities with deep domain understanding, Incedo Inc. assists clients in financial services, telecommunications, life sciences, healthcare, and product engineering to maximize business impact from emerging technologies. Protecting data and service offerings is integral to Incedo Inc.'s reputation and service quality. As a consulting firm, it works with large volumes of clients' proprietary data and intellectual property, processes data for customers, and generates its own product development data and Internet and application-based services.

In response to these challenges, Incedo Inc. decided to consolidate its security infrastructure and chose Check Point as its trusted partner. The company deployed Check Point Quantum Security Gateways to protect its networks from advanced, multi-vector attacks. These gateways deliver integrated threat prevention with SandBlast zero-day protection. Check Point Threat Prevention includes firewall, IPS, Anti-Bot, Antivirus, Application Control, and URL Filtering to combat known cyber attacks and threats. It also provides SandBlast Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction for complete protection against sophisticated threats and zero-day vulnerabilities. Check Point CloudGuard Network Security was extended to Incedo Inc.'s private cloud infrastructure, allowing automated security provisioning and centralized management. Check Point R81 Security Management provided unified visibility of the entire environment. To protect endpoints, Incedo Inc. initiated a proof of concept with Check Point Harmony Endpoint, which offers behavior-based detection against zero-day attacks such as ransomware, phishing, and malware.

• The implementation of Check Point solutions has significantly improved Incedo Inc.'s security posture. With enterprise-wide visibility across the network and endpoints, the company has at-a-glance assurance that the infrastructure is being actively protected. Automated detection, investigation, and remediation capabilities do the work of an entire team, increasing agility. The company and its clients' environments stayed safe during the ransomware attacks spike in 2020 and early 2021, thanks to Harmony Endpoint's threat hunting capabilities. Incedo Inc. is continuing to consolidate its cybersecurity defenses and is evaluating Check Point CloudGuard to protect its internal application development assets in the cloud.
