Case Study: The Third Floor secures remote work in 4 days with Appgate SDP

How a Top Visualization Studio Secured Remote Workes In 4 Days

The Third Floor, a Los Angeles-based visualization studio that works with major film clients like Marvel, Disney, and Lucas Films, needed a fast way to move 250 employees to remote work during COVID-19 without exposing sensitive intellectual property. The company wanted secure network access that was stronger than a traditional VPN, and turned to Appgate for a Zero Trust Network Access solution.

Appgate implemented Appgate SDP to create one-to-one, least-privilege connections between users and only the resources they were authorized to access, effectively extending the studio’s air-gapped security model to remote workers. The rollout was completed in just four days, with employees onboarded by Monday and critical teams online by Tuesday, and The Third Floor reported no end-user complaints, minimal friction, and a scalable solution for future hiring and use cases.
