Case Study: Miele achieves secure, centrally managed communications and 25-30% cost savings with Check Point Software

Miele Streamlines Security, Saves Money with Check Point

Miele, the 125‑year‑old German manufacturer of premium home and professional appliances, needed a comprehensive, reliable security solution to protect and guarantee uninterrupted access to critical business data across its Nordic offices. With high availability and consistent performance essential to customer service, Miele sought to replace its dedicated Frame Relay network with a secure, Internet‑based solution that would meet strict information‑access requirements.

Miele deployed Check Point VPN-1 Power, SecureClient, FloodGate-1 and SmartCenter for centrally managed VPN and firewall protection, traffic prioritization and integration with third‑party technologies. The rollout created secure tunnels to suppliers and headquarters, placed SecureClient on remote workstations, and gave IT a single view of network traffic—resulting in improved security, fewer resources for management and a 25–30% reduction in network operations costs.
