About The Customer

Goglio Group, based in Northern Italy, is a leading multinational company in the packaging sector. The company offers complete services that combine all aspects of the packaging process in an integrated system. Goglio provides a 360° service, supported by the group’s commitment to innovation, which focuses on optimizing processes and meeting the specific packaging needs for various sectors: coffee, food, industrial products, detergents, pet food and aseptic products. This makes Goglio the partner of some of the world’s most important industrial companies; always recognized for the innovation, service and quality of its products.

The Challenge

Goglio Group, a leading multinational company in the packaging sector, was facing a significant challenge in consolidating its IT security. The company needed to save time and resources, better protect confidential customer data shared between branches, achieve real-time zero-day protection from the latest security threats, and guarantee the security of customers’ sensitive data. Goglio has a data center in Varese, with dual connectivity (fiber optic and radio). Initially, all data lines for internet access from the European sites converged in the Varese headquarters. Goglio needed an Internet connection in every location, each protected by a separate firewall, but all managed centrally by its IT team. The company was looking for a solution that would help them improve the security of their data and that of their customers, in an agile way, achieve real-time protection and maintain governance and control in Varese.

The Solution

Goglio chose the Check Point 5400 and 1500 Series Next Generation Security Gateway, replacing all devices from other vendors, alongside the Check Point Next Generation Threat Prevention & SandBlast (NGTX) software suite, providing comprehensive protection from any kind of threat. The Check Point solution can scale alongside future developments in the IT infrastructure and the groups’ overall business development. The solution is managed via a unified security management platform, which provides a single view of all threats, devices, users and reports across the whole company, in real-time. Part of the monitoring is delegated to Elmec, which means Goglio’s IT staff require little time to invest in managing cyber security issues. Goglio is planning further development of the new infrastructure, including connecting other sites outside of Europe with the same level of efficiency and security.

Operational Impact

Thanks to Check Point Next Generation Threat Prevention, managing Goglio’s security around the world has been simplified and centralized, consolidating all hardware and software security on one single vendor. The solution has provided Goglio with a unified security management platform, which provides a single view of all threats, devices, users and reports across the whole company, in real-time. This has resulted in improved governance and monitoring of IT infrastructure across all locations. The solution has also allowed Goglio’s IT staff to save time which can be invested in more strategic projects. Goglio is planning further development of the new infrastructure, including connecting other sites outside of Europe with the same level of efficiency and security.
