Challenge.

Sysmex Europe was looking to completely rethink security for 3,000 users across 40 entities. The company wanted a central platform that made modern IT security a breeze. In other words a cloud proxy solution that is standardised, powerful and scalable. The new architecture should secure all of the company’s devices while fulfilling international standards such as ISO as well as regulatory requirements. Transparency was also essential to see who is accessing what and when. The solution needed to combine it all and lay the foundation for a successful, networked future.

Zscaler allows us to easily implement standardised security policies across locations—scalably and with a holistic view of IT risks.

Solution.

After defining requirements and analysing the market, Bechtle found the perfect answer in Zscaler Internet Access. A cloud platform that secures everything that is connected to the internet. From laptops to tablets and production systems, Zscaler checks every single connection.
Each access is monitored. Each device secured. The zero-trust model ensures that only authorised users can access the internet at the right time. Clearly defined. Easily managed. Fully traceable. Bechtle supported with consulting, proof of value and technical implementation. After just two weeks, the benefits for Sysmex Europe were clear—transparency, control, and speed. From that point on, things moved quickly and Zscaler was rolled out to all locations. Bechtle now provides first and second-level support. Even with weak internet connections, the solution delivers high performance plus admin is handled centrally. Compliance requirements? Check. Scaling. Whenever needed. With Zscaler, Sysmex Europe now has exactly what they need for the future—a smart security platform that grows with the company.
