Case Study: Akubra strengthens security and reduces attacks with WatchGuard

Akubra cuts daily spam attacks and saves 2–3 hours a day with WatchGuard

Akubra, an iconic Australian hat manufacturer, faced increasing cybersecurity threats and an unreliable Wi-Fi network. Their existing basic antivirus protection was insufficient against rising malicious spam and external attacks, which compromised staff productivity. To address this, they partnered with vendor WatchGuard to upgrade their security infrastructure.

WatchGuard implemented its T35 Firebox with Total Security Services and deployed AP325 Wi-Fi access points. This solution dramatically reduced threats, eliminating thousands of daily attacks and saving staff several hours per day previously lost to spam. The reliable Wi-Fi also improved productivity. Akubra's security risk was significantly reduced, allowing management to focus on core business operations.
