About the client

The company operates in technology niches where specialized in-house experts are scarce. We address critical needs such as delivering security and network experts, ensuring the continuous operation of both office and IoT industrial networks, maintaining consistent user profiles across facilities, and providing ongoing network and security monitoring.

Business challenge

The project’s scope involves the maintenance of LAA and WIFI networks across five production facilities. Daily tasks encompass reviewing the operational status of network devices, updating software, and overseeing user support cases. The infrastructural aspect relies on our centralized solution for configuration management and availability.

Team composition

Our dedicated team includes two Extreme Networks and Fortinet engineers, an ISO27001 lead auditor, and a first-line helpdesk engineer.

Our solution

We administer a complex network comprising thousands of ports and hundreds of WIFI devices in multiple locations. Our central management solution integrates with Active Directory, providing secure end-user access through the 802.1x protocol. Security management involves traffic control between VLANs, both within each facility and in and out of each location, utilizing Extreme Networks, Fortinet, and UTM/NGF solutions. We implement security policies on procedural and technical levels.
