Case Study: Cooper Standard achieves secure global network protection with CentraComm and Juniper Networks

Cooper-Standard protects global network and provides secure access with best-in-class security solutions

Cooper Standard, a global automotive components manufacturer, needed a proven way to secure operations across 62 locations in 15 countries while maintaining a consistent, defense-in-depth security strategy. Working with CentraComm, its managed security services partner, the company evaluated options for protecting its worldwide network and enabling secure remote access for vendors and partners.

CentraComm recommended Juniper Networks security solutions, including the IDP200 Intrusion Detection and Prevention Appliance and the SA2000 SSL VPN Appliance. The deployment gave Cooper Standard centralized visibility, stronger protection against malware and network attacks, easier policy enforcement, and secure remote access with role-based controls. The company also reported improved reporting, faster user setup, and bandwidth savings from blocking malicious traffic, helping its IT team “sleep at night” knowing the network is protected.
