Case Study: Arcopedico (Portuguese footwear manufacturer) modernizes IT and prevents advanced threats with Check Point Software

Check Point Architecture Prevents Advanced Threats Across Network, Cloud and Mobile with Zero-Day Protection and Consolidated Management

Arcopedico, a Portuguese ergonomic footwear manufacturer exporting to about 50 countries with €15M in annual turnover, faced increasing cyber risk from an aging firewall and a growing number of devices connecting to its network. A contained phishing incident highlighted weak visibility and control, the need to segment corporate and guest traffic, and an urgent requirement to modernize security and policy management.

Advised by Pamafe IT, Arcopedico implemented Check Point R80.10 security management and SandBlast zero‑day protection, consolidating network, cloud and mobile defenses into a single console. The solution delivers pre‑emptive threat prevention (threat emulation/extraction and anti‑ransomware), dynamic policy control, clearer logging and reporting, and faster threat identification—improving visibility, blocking advanced threats (including an infected guest device) and simplifying centralized security management.
