Business Pain-Points
- Lack of protection against advance and evolving attacks.
Due to weak protection of existing UTM, Abenson
experienced ransomware, malwares, advance and
sophisticated attack which compromised operation of the
affected departments. - Lack of dynamic security awareness. On top of the
bothersome advance and sophisticated attacks, their
UTM focuses on passive-blocking features such as IPS,
content security, anti-virus, etc. Abenson’s IT team had
difficulty in identifying potential risk & danger on their
network and business assets. - Lack of secured and stable link connectivity. Operations
of Abenson are centralized yet have unsecured
connectivity between each site, increasing risk of leaking
critical information in-between sites. Therefore they had
security concerns. - Hard to manage internet access. End user access control
(i.e. proxy, video streaming and downloading) for
applications and websites could not be blocked easily.
