Case Study: OLFA achieves secure cloud transition and faster network performance with Broadcom Symantec Web Security Service

Implemented Symantec Web Security Service to address security without compromising convenience

The Olfa Corporation, a manufacturer of handheld cutting tools, was experiencing severe network bottlenecks and latency issues after implementing Office 365, which impeded daily operations. Their existing gateway appliances were inefficient to manage and created security concerns, especially for employees accessing the internet directly from outside the workplace. To address these challenges, they turned to vendor Broadcom for a solution.

Broadcom implemented its Symantec Web Security Service (WSS), which was chosen for its quick deployment and robust security features. The solution resolved the network bottlenecks, significantly improving bandwidth and access speeds. It also provided easy, centralized cloud management and extended high-precision security to employees on the go. As a result, Olfa eliminated operational hassles, enhanced its security posture, and established a stable environment to support its continued transition to cloud-based systems.
