Case Study: Unipart Group reduces firewall costs with Bytes Security Partnerships

A solution that retains the simplicity of a managed service but at a significantly reduced cost and with less internal administration

Bytes Technology worked with Unipart Group, a global logistics and consulting company, to address an aging firewall estate that was becoming increasingly costly and time-consuming to manage. Unipart wanted to avoid the expense and loss of internal expertise that can come with a fully managed service, while still improving security and reducing administrative burden.

Bytes Technology, through Bytes Security Partnerships, delivered a co-managed security solution built around Check Point, SPARC Monitor, and ongoing audit and health check services. The approach reduced the number of firewalls needing replacement from 22 to 8, lowered capital costs and overall TCO, improved PCI compliance and risk management, and provided early warning to help avoid downtime, with the full deliverables up and running in under 6 months.
