Case Study: RWZ strengthens distributed IT security with WithSecure Business Suite

Data safety and virus protection is fundamental to all value chain processes of an agriculture supplier

Raiffeisen Waren-Zentrale Rhein-Main eG (RWZ), a large German agricultural cooperative with a complex IT infrastructure, faced significant security challenges. After switching to Microsoft Exchange 2010, their existing antivirus solution proved inadequate, leaving servers and data vulnerable. The customer needed a new, scalable solution that offered centralized management and comprehensive protection, including for Exchange. They selected the WithSecure Business Suite from vendor WithSecure to address these issues.

WithSecure, through its partner BIN-Control, implemented its Business Suite, which provided centralized antivirus management and protection for all systems, including Microsoft Exchange, Citrix, and file servers. The solution was rolled out efficiently across all 250+ sites with minimal bandwidth usage. The results were highly successful, giving RWZ reliable and comprehensive protection against internet threats. The customer reported a significant quality improvement, praising the solution's modularity and the vendor's responsive, non-bureaucratic support. WithSecure's scalable solution has future-proofed the cooperative's security.
