By enforcing strict access controls, the organization could restrict access to sensitive data and resources, ensuring that only authorized users could access critical information within the network.
Secure VPN Deployment: Maxicon Solutions established secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections for United Gypsum’s branches and remote users. These VPN connections utilized encryption protocols to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted over the internet, facilitating seamless and hurdle-free intra-connectivity for remote access to essential resources and applications.
Outcome:
Enhanced Cybersecurity Posture: The implementation of the Fortigate Firewall 60E and robust security policies significantly enhanced United Gypsum’s cybersecurity posture. By mitigating potential security risks associated with remote access, the organization could better protect their SAP Business One solution and sensitive data from unauthorized access and cyber threats.
Improved Access Control: The establishment of comprehensive security policies and access controls enabled United Gypsum to exert granular control over network traffic and user permissions. This allowed the organization to enforce least privilege principles, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and enhancing overall data security and integrity.
Seamless Intra-Connectivity: The deployment of secure VPN connections facilitated seamless and secure intra-connectivity for United Gypsum’s branches and remote users. This ensured efficient collaboration and access to critical resources, including the SAP Business One solution, while maintaining the confidentiality and privacy of sensitive information.
