Case Study: McLaren Group achieves cloud-first security and secures its mobile workforce with iboss

McLaren Group increases business value with cloud-first security strategy implementing iboss

McLaren Group, an international construction, property and development firm with ~£650M revenue and 700 employees, needed to protect a mobile workforce and dozens of variable-sized construction sites while removing costly data center backhauling. Facing heavy IoT and remote‑working traffic and a move to software-defined networks (Citrix SD‑WAN), McLaren turned to iboss and its SASE/Cloud Platform to deliver cloud-first security and next‑generation internet filtering that could support Zero Trust requirements.

iboss integrated directly with McLaren’s Citrix SD‑WAN (including client and GRE/IPsec tunnel options), enabling local internet breakout for all traffic, eliminating backhauling, and allowing McLaren to close its on‑prem data center. The deployment secured every endpoint within days during COVID‑19, delivered cost savings and true cloud scalability for fluctuating site counts, and provided ongoing technical support from iboss to sustain the company’s cloud-first strategy.
