Increased network traffic and constant addition of services are simply part of doing business for successful manufacturing companies in today's world. That means safeguarding your network- and your customers- has to take top priority.

Challenge: After migrating to a converged network covering several locations, security issues were beginning to arise, requiring a security solution to monitor the network, identify threats and deliver investment protection.

Solution: The first step was to fully assess and analyze the network for a holistic view of both voice and data networks, as well as identifying security threats and vulnerabilites. Step two was to implement Cisco CS MARS(Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis and Response System). This is an application-based solution that monitors network devices, identifies threats and mitigates them.

Result: A secured network that greatly improved network availability, lowered operating costs, increased customer satisfaction and delivered a cost effective security command and control solution.
