Case Study: Baker & Baker achieves nearly 90% stronger enterprise security and 70% cost savings with Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange

Baker & Baker Boosts Enterprise Security Nearly 90%

Baker & Baker, a European leader in convenience bakery operating across seven countries and 12 sites, faced ongoing ransomware attacks (about 10 incidents per month) and an inflexible, hardware-based firewall and VPN security model that couldn’t keep up with its cloud adoption, Industry 4.0 initiatives, and widely distributed facilities.

By deploying the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange (ZIA, ZPA, SD‑WAN, ZDX and related services), the company eliminated ransomware incidents, retired VPNs (saving roughly 70% on hardware and licensing), and made applications and users effectively invisible to attackers. The move boosted overall protection nearly 90%, blocked about 14,000 threats and prevented roughly 4 million policy violations monthly, improved application performance, and cut troubleshooting time from months to seconds.
