Case Study: Rybrook strengthens network security and centralizes management with WatchGuard

Centralized Management Helps Dealership to Securely Connect Offices with Ease

Rybrook Holdings, a family-owned luxury automotive and yacht dealership group with 24 showrooms across the UK and Spain, needed a simpler way to centrally manage security and connectivity across a highly distributed business. With many franchises, varying user counts, and multiple IT policies to support, the company turned to WatchGuard, using products including the M670 firewall, T35 devices, Dimension, AP320 access points, and Wi-Fi Cloud.

WatchGuard helped Rybrook build a central MPLS network with secure VPN connections for remote sites, giving the IT team centralized control, better visibility, and easier day-to-day management. The solution improved protection against malware, phishing, and unwanted web access, while also allowing bandwidth controls to prevent network disruption and provide granular guest Wi-Fi monitoring. After seven years of use, Rybrook reports that WatchGuard gives them the high-level information and flexibility needed to keep the business running 24x7.
