About The Customer
Mutua Universal is a voluntary association of non-profit companies established in 1907 to support the operation of the Spanish social security system. The company manages occupational risk prevention, accidents, and sickness for 160,000 companies throughout Spain. Its workforce of 1,800 provides health services and assistance to 1.3 million employees. In recent years, the company has embarked on a range of digital transformation initiatives, including providing corporate mobile devices to over 500 employees for access to corporate applications.
The Challenge
Mutua Universal, a Spanish company managing occupational risk prevention, accidents, and sickness for 160,000 companies, faced a significant challenge in protecting its corporate Android and iOS mobile devices from cyber-attacks. The company had recently decided to provide over 500 employees with access to corporate applications via their mobile devices as part of its digital transformation initiatives. This move, however, exposed the company to potential security threats that could compromise the corporate network. The company needed a solution that would not only protect the mobile devices from network threats but also integrate seamlessly with its existing security infrastructure. The solution also needed to be simple to manage, given the scale of the company's operations.
The Solution
After evaluating several options in the market, Mutua Universal chose Check Point SandBlast Mobile as the solution to their security challenge. The company's Technical Architecture department tested solutions from various suppliers over a period of four months. Check Point SandBlast Mobile stood out due to its easy adoption among users and its ability to integrate with any MDM platform. The company's past experience with Check Point also made the trial easier. The solution was deployed rapidly, with the entire process completed in just one week. The console was user-friendly, and the product could be installed on devices in just a few minutes, ensuring full protection.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
