Case Study: Geiger Brothers achieves secure, highly available remote access and faster branch deployment with Check Point Software

Geiger Grows With Akibia and Check Point Security

Geiger Brothers, a family-owned promotional-products company founded in 1878, operates a nearly paperless order and document system from Lewiston, Maine and supports 500 employees across 20 U.S. offices. Rapid growth from acquisitions, frequent travel by executives, and rising demand for remote access, plus the need for secure, cost-effective SOHO and branch connectivity and reliable voice/data performance, strained the company’s limited IT staff and made security and high availability top priorities. Geiger turned to longtime partner Akibia and Check Point for guidance.

Using Check Point VPN-1 Pro NGX for site-to-site VPNs, clustered gateways for high availability, Check Point Express at branch sites, SSL Network Extender for clientless remote access, and SmartDefense services for threat prevention, Geiger achieved secure, easily deployed branch and remote connectivity. The solution delivered payback in under a year, reduced helpdesk calls, enabled rapid office setups, prioritized VPN traffic for voice quality, and provided the stability and uptime needed to upgrade systems without disrupting business.
