Case Study: Refuge achieves faster, more secure file transfers with WatchGuard Firebox M470

Refuge boosts secure file transfers across 4x larger Ultra HD files with WatchGuard

Refuge, an animation and visual effects studio, faced significant challenges with the speed and security of its large data transfers for major clients like Netflix and Marvel. Their previous firewall limited transfer speeds, especially for large Ultra HD files, and failed to provide adequate network segmentation. Seeking a solution that could address both speed and security, Refuge turned to vendor WatchGuard and its Firebox M470 appliance.

WatchGuard implemented its Firebox M470 firewall equipped with the Total Security Suite, which provided high-speed VPN capabilities for remote work and advanced threat prevention. The solution eliminated the previous speed limitations for file transfers and gave Refuge full visibility into their network in real time. This resulted in increased productivity and allowed the studio to operate with complete confidence in their security, knowing their valuable content was protected from viruses and data breaches during transfer.
