Case Study: Ricoh New Zealand achieves simplified security, reduced bandwidth and higher productivity with Check Point Software Blades (Check Point Software)

Ricoh - Customer Case Study

Ricoh New Zealand, the local arm of Ricoh Company Ltd., operates a nationwide network of branches from its Auckland headquarters. With a small IT team, the company was spending significant time manually reviewing proxy logs and struggled to control access to social media, widgets and risky websites, reduce bandwidth consumption, protect sensitive customer data from Web 2.0 threats, and lower management complexity and hardware costs.

Ricoh deployed Check Point R75 Software Blade Architecture—Application Control, URL Filtering, IPS and Firewall—on consolidated appliances with centralized management, Active Directory integration and AppWiki classification. The integrated solution gave granular user- and group-level controls, better visibility and simplified administration, which reduced hardware and management overhead, cut bandwidth use, increased employee productivity, and delivered a measurable ROI and lower total cost of ownership.
