Case Study: Zim Integrated Shipping Services Ltd achieves secure, scalable global SSL VPN access and centralized management with Check Point Software

Zim Integrated Shipping Services Delivers Secure SSL VPN as Easy as Connecting the Dots

Zim Integrated Shipping Services is a global container-shipping company with about 3,000 employees across roughly 200 sites and three regional data centers. It needed high-performance, secure remote access for traveling and home-based staff—supporting file transfers and native client/server apps—while relieving leased-line capacity and providing centralized management for widely dispersed gateways.

Zim deployed Check Point Connectra with VPN-1 Power and Provider-1 centralized management, rolling out a pilot with reseller 2Bsecure and then a global deployment. Connectra’s SSL VPN tunneled any IP-based application through a browser with integrated endpoint and application protection, eliminating client installs, easing bandwidth pressure, and enabling secure file access; Provider-1 centralized administration let Zim manage 120+ gateways and scale security for thousands of users.
