Case Study: Old Mutual achieves improved management and unified network security with Check Point Software

Old Mutual Improves Management with Migration to Check Point R80 Unified Security

Old Mutual Zimbabwe, part of the pan‑African Old Mutual group, is a Harare‑based financial services firm providing banking and insurance. Facing exposure from internet‑facing applications, the company needed stronger protection for sensitive personal and financial data and better centralized management, file handling and log analysis—its legacy security caused timeouts and reliance on third‑party tools.

Old Mutual migrated from older Check Point appliances to R80.30, deploying Check Point CloudGuard Network Security and the Quantum Smart‑1 management appliance. The smooth migration delivered centralized management and files, automated IPS updates, deep log visibility and a customizable dashboard, plus concurrent admin sessions for collaboration—improving security visibility, speeding troubleshooting and boosting staff productivity, with plans to extend to cloud and mobility solutions.
