挑战
Lawter 是一家全球树脂和添加剂供应商,业务遍及 20 多个国家,拥有高度分布的 IT 基础设施。该公司面临着通过可覆盖移动和远程工作人员的高度集成解决方案来提高互联网安全性的挑战。该公司还寻求提高互联网流量的性能并促进计划中的 Office 365 实施。现有的网络设置要求所有远程访问都通过隧道传输到总部并由防火墙扫描,这增加了网络延迟。为了提高互联网流量的性能,需要在三个不同的大陆进行本地突破。然而,Lawter 不想实施和管理额外的网络硬件,这使得安全设备成为不合适的解决方案。该公司还需要考虑员工流动性、远程访问公司网络、提高网络安全性、数据丢失防护以及社交媒体时代的生产力。
关于客户
Lawter 是一家为图形艺术、粘合剂、芳香化学品、合成橡胶和特种涂料行业提供树脂和添加剂的全球供应商。该公司拥有 60 年历史,业务遍及三大洲 20 多个国家,拥有 11 个制造和技术中心。其优势在于制定技术、战略性地采购原材料以及提供全球制造能力网络。 Lawter 使用高度分布式的公司 IT 基础设施运营,公司网络由遍布全球(从阿根廷到亚太地区)的 15 个地点组成。
解决方案
在评估了四种不同的解决方案后,Lawter 选择了 Zscaler 基于云的方法。该解决方案不仅满足了为移动员工统一实施策略的安全要求,还根据计划向 Office 365 的迁移优化了网络。Zscaler Web Security SaaS 平台提供了所有必需的安全功能和 DLP 技术。它还通过实施 Web 2.0 策略(例如限制工作时间访问社交媒体)来提高生产力。访客 Wifi 访问策略可以按照与公司策略一致的方式实施。 Zscaler 解决方案提供了一条简化的迁移路径,可以用有限的资源进行处理,增加安全性,同时降低 MPLS 网络上的成本和流量。基于云的解决方案无需维护任何硬件或软件,从而以极低的延迟提供安全性。

Field Device Asset Management For Chemical Company in China
Chinese chemical subsidiary of multinational corporation serves customers throughout the world. Sales offices and research and technology centers are strategically located to provide rapid response to customer requests. Just two workers were assigned to maintain thousands of intelligent instruments in three production units, so they could do little more than react to device issues as they appeared. This costly maintenance method inevitably led to unexpected downtime when a critical instrument failed. Plant management recognized the need to change from reactive to predictive maintenance for all assets, including instruments and control valves, but help was needed in implementing such a technology-based initiative.
