About The Customer

MOTORTECH is a leading international manufacturer of components and accessories for the gas engine industry. With a workforce of more than 250 employees worldwide, it is among the most efficient system suppliers in the industry. The company offers customers throughout the world a complete range of products for all popular gas engines regardless of brand or type of fuel. The company's sensitive data must be protected from unauthorized external access to prevent the encryption, deletion, and compression of internal data by malware. The authenticity and availability of their data is of utmost importance.

The Challenge

MOTORTECH, an international specialist manufacturer of components and accessories for the gas engine industry, was faced with the challenge of enhancing its security to combat the latest cyber threats, both known and unknown. The company needed to ensure complete protection and prevention of these threats to safeguard its sensitive data. The data needed to be protected from unauthorized external access to prevent encryption, deletion, and compression of internal data by malware. The company reviews the security market annually to ensure sufficient protection of its data, focusing primarily on current and future threats. For the past four years, MOTORTECH has been working with Check Point to counter the changing threat situation with effective solutions.

The Solution

To protect its data from the latest malware, MOTORTECH opted for the Check Point security gateways. The company also switched to the Check Point Harmony Endpoint solution, which protects data from encryption mechanisms, both on internal hard drives and on mobile devices. USB devices are scanned before activation, and all attachments are verified. Check Point Endpoint Security also guarantees important security standards by ensuring that devices meet a specific security level. The solution allows specific user groups to be defined, which can, in turn, be granted specific freedoms. With the Check Point Quantum Next Generation Firewall, MOTORTECH can deploy threat prevention functions at all points in the infrastructure. It also significantly speeds up the efficiency of security operations, while simultaneously preventing and blocking attacks.

Operational Impact

The implementation of Check Point security solutions has provided MOTORTECH with an extremely high level of security. During tests, all attacks were detected and responded to accordingly. The Check Point Quantum Next Generation Firewall aced every test, proving its effectiveness. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Check Point’s solutions helped the company deal with the major security challenges. Many users had to work from home overnight, most using their own devices. The Check Point Endpoint Security VPN feature ensured that the security of data was still protected thanks to secure data transfer between private devices and the corporate network. As the significance of mobile and dynamic working grows, the company is focusing on more secure solutions that offer greater flexibility.

Quantitative Benefit

Significant reduction in workload
No security incidents reported since the implementation of Check Point solutions
