Case Study: Global Automotive Components Manufacturer achieves centralized global security and faster remote access with Zscaler

Global Automotive Components Manufacturer - Customer Case Study

A Michigan‑headquartered, global automotive supplier with about 20,000 employees across 70 sites in 18 countries needed to consolidate two aging on‑premise web‑filtering solutions and enforce a consistent security policy for an increasingly mobile workforce. The company’s goals were uniform internet access controls, secure coverage for remote and mobile users, and reduced management overhead.

After evaluating on‑premise, hybrid and cloud options and four Gartner‑listed vendors, the company chose a cloud‑based secure web gateway (Zscaler) for its broad global footprint, strong mobile support and agentless deployment. Rollout started in Europe and delivered centralized policies for on‑premise and remote users, improved user experience by eliminating traffic backhaul, advanced threat and Web 2.0 controls, simplified IT operations and lower overall costs.
