UTM-1 Adopted for Security Infrastructure of a New Application Services Business

Overview

Sooki Co., Ltd. provides rentals, sales, and repairs of survey and measurement devices, and measuring instrumentation and is growing in areas such as development and implementation of automated survey systems. The firm has also started a new service operation providing 3D application services for various industries that use 3D measurement technologies. To enable secure use of these applications by customers from plants, offices, and research centers, Sooki installed the UTM-1 Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliance in its data center. This installation provided a firewall, intrusion prevention, antivirus and anti-spyware protection, and an SSL VPN, all at low cost. The small-scale UTM appliance Safe@Office 500 was also installed at each company location, improving point-to-point network security.
