Case Study: Eekels reduces attack surface with Akamai Guardicore Segmentation

Eekels secures 100 servers with Akamai Guardicore Segmentation

Eekels, a Netherlands-based industrial systems manufacturer, faced a critical security challenge when its existing segmentation solution was discontinued. Needing to secure its on-premises servers without time for a full infrastructure rearchitecture, the company needed a fast and reliable path to implement microsegmentation for improved visibility and threat containment. This led them to partner with Akamai to adopt Akamai Guardicore Segmentation.

By implementing Akamai Guardicore Segmentation with a phased, ringfencing strategy, Eekels quickly secured roughly 100 servers and endpoints. The solution provided deep visibility into internal traffic, enabling the team to identify and block suspicious activity, dramatically reduce the attack surface, and fortify defenses against ransomware. Eekels now has granular control over server communications, fewer security incidents, and a strong foundation for continuous security optimization as the business grows.
