Case Study: AXEL KAUFMANN ApS achieves AI-driven endpoint protection, automated patching and ransomware defense with Heimdal Security

Kaufmann - Customer Case Study

Kaufmann (AXEL KAUFMANN ApS), a Denmark-based menswear retailer with about 350 employees, faced the need for a cloud-based, AI-driven security stack that protected mobile clients outside the corporate firewall, simplified patching for Windows and third‑party apps, removed local admin rights, and strengthened ransomware defenses. They selected Heimdal Security, building on prior use of Thor Premium, and adopted Heimdal modules including Threat Prevention Endpoint, Patch & Asset Management, DarkLayer Guard™, VectorN Detection™ and Privileged Access Management (PAM).

Heimdal Security delivered a unified, cloud-managed platform that automated on-the-fly patching from anywhere, enforced least-privilege admin controls, and blocked malicious traffic at DNS/HTTP/HTTPS to stop malware communications. As a result Kaufmann now applies updates much faster, protects mobile endpoints off-network, thwarted numerous threats via DarkLayer Guard™, sped up investigations with vector-based detections, and freed IT staff from manual patching and admin tasks—substantially improving their security posture and business continuity.
