Case Study: Corporate Business Solutions achieves zero-trust remote working with HPE Aruba Networking

cbs powers global growth by securing and simplifying access to its Heidelberg HQ

Corporate Business Solutions (cbs) is a 30‑year‑old Heidelberg‑based consultancy serving the manufacturing sector with 35 offices and 350 international customers. As the business has globalized and workflows digitized, cbs needed to centralize oversight through its Heidelberg HQ while securing and simplifying remote and branch access for employees and client projects.

cbs adopted a zero‑trust access model powered by HPE Aruba Networking (SSE/ZTNA, Central, ClearPass, Wi‑Fi 6 and EdgeConnect), enabling automated, least‑privilege access and segmented client networks from a single pane of glass. The change cut network access tickets by over 90%, improved speeds by seven to eight times, allowed many VPNs to be retired, and strengthened the company’s cybersecurity posture as it pursues ISO 27001 and TISAX.
