Case Study: Global Food Distribution Company achieves safer third-party access and lower VPN costs with Axis Security App Access Cloud

How A Global Food Distribution Company Cooked Up Better Security and a Banquet of Cost Savings

Global Food Distribution Company, a global food service leader serving more than 650,000 customer locations in 90 countries, needed a better way to give acquired companies, partners, and remote employees secure access to business applications. Their legacy VPN-based approach was difficult to manage, exposed too much of the network, and created a frustrating user experience, especially for sales teams on the road.

Axis Security implemented App Access Cloud to provide zero-trust third-party and employee app access with integrated two-factor authentication, continuous behavior monitoring, and real-time policy enforcement. With Axis Security, the company reduced VPN-related costs such as hardware, refreshes, maintenance, and staff, while improving visibility, tightening least-privilege access, and lowering risk by isolating applications from direct internet and user attacks.
