Case Study: Autohaus Timmermanns achieves secure, centrally managed WLAN with WatchGuard

Autohaus Timmermanns secures 4 locations with WatchGuard and 10 access points

Autohaus Timmermanns GmbH, a BMW dealership in Germany, faced challenges with its outdated, multi-vendor guest WLAN setup, which was difficult to administer and lacked security. The head of IT, Michael Hendrich, needed a secure, fast, and standardized wireless solution to support internal applications like customer iPads for vehicle configuration while providing public internet access. They turned to WatchGuard for a solution.

With the help of a local IT provider, WatchGuard integrated its Access Points and Wi-Fi Cloud solution into the dealership's existing security infrastructure. This provided centralized management, robust security features like APT Blocker, and secure, segmented networks for guests and staff. The results for Autohaus Timmermanns included complete network control, advanced threat protection with automated rogue client deactivation, and reliable performance across all four locations, saving the IT team a significant amount of time.
