Case Study: Clarke Energy achieves centralized security and easy deployment with WatchGuard

Energy Company Fuels Its Security with WatchGuard

Clarke Energy, a UK manufacturing company with more than 1,000 employees operating in over 25 countries, needed to secure a highly distributed workforce while giving travelers and branch users access to business applications. As the company grew, it wanted to replace aging, fragmented IT systems with a standardized, centrally managed security solution. WatchGuard was selected to help deliver that unified environment, using Firebox appliances and secure Wi-Fi access points.

WatchGuard implemented Firebox T35, T55, M370, and M470 appliances with Total Security Suite, along with AP325 wireless access points, to provide centralized management, stronger threat protection, and secure connectivity across locations. Clarke Energy used features such as Data Loss Prevention, DNSWatch, IntelligentAV, and Threat Detection and Response to defend against zero-day threats. The result was easier deployment, reduced firmware upgrade and maintenance effort, smoother site rollouts, and highly reliable performance over many years, helping Clarke Energy scale securely.
