Case Study: Spie Batignolles strengthens DNS security and protects remote laptop users with Akamai Technologies' Enterprise Threat Protector

Spie Batignolles Strengthens Its Security Posture With Akamai Enterprise Threat Protector

Spie batignolles, a major French construction and engineering group with thousands of employees and many staff working remotely part-time, faced a growing cybersecurity gap around DNS protection. With engineers using laptops off‑network and its ISP’s recursive DNS relying on third‑party threat feeds, the security team had little visibility into outbound DNS traffic, no way to enforce acceptable‑use policies, and exposure to threats when users worked remotely.

The company redirected external recursive DNS to Akamai Enterprise Threat Protector, which uses real‑time domain risk scoring to block malicious domains and applies customizable acceptable‑use rules. Deployment was quick, gave the team a clear dashboard of DNS events, improved protection for remote laptops, and reduced manual work—strengthening Spie batignolles’ security posture and freeing the security team to focus on strategic tasks.
