Case Study: Williams F1 achieves secure, low-latency remote access and insider-threat protection with Dtex Systems

Remote Working Is New To A Lot Of Oraganizations , But Not To Williams Racing

Williams Racing is a Formula 1 team and engineering firm with more than 650 staff — including Williams Advanced Engineering, which commercializes F1 innovations — who need fast, reliable access to real‑time race telemetry, video analytics and proprietary R&D. The COVID‑era shift to largely remote work exposed many employees to unsecure home and public networks and made routing traffic through a UK VPN impractical due to latency; at the same time Williams had to protect sensitive intellectual property and guard against insider threats without stifling engineers with rigid, rule‑based controls that generate noise and false positives.

Williams partnered with DTEX Systems to deploy the DTEX Workforce Cyber Intelligence Platform, which uses behavioral baselining and machine learning to detect anomalous, negligent or malicious activity and the InTERCEPT module to generate timely, accurate alerts. The solution fit Williams’ culture, reduced alert noise, and enabled secure direct internet and cloud access from anywhere — letting engineers work without restrictive controls while protecting data and IP.
