How do you meet the dual IT and HR challenges of optimizing bandwidth and improving productivity - while guaranteeing the security of your information system?

   THE CHALLENGE

Responding to a twofold challenge within the Val d'Oise department, with the Information Systems Department undertaking a global identity management and security project:

1. Optimize computer network bandwidth across a hundred different physical sites
2. Guarantee the security of our 4,000 employees when they surf the Internet (Qwant has also been deployed).

    THE SOLUTION

A solution tailored to the needs of IT departments and human resources :

• Web filtering to limit Internet access via time and volume quotas
• Implementation ofWeb Antivirus, which analyzes content in real time to identify, block and remove all types of attack instantly.

      OLFEO-TOUCH

• Recognized expertise: Web security gateway solution
• A solution that takes bandwidth issues into account
• Category finesse for efficient URL filtering
• The ability to set up virtual appliances to easily add resources.
• A French solution perfectly adapted to local legislation, unlike American products which sometimes have bugs in site categorization.

• Attractive value for money .

THEY DID IT          

28% bandwidth savings and improved employee productivity.

Meetings set up with trade unions, the Human Resources Department and the IT Department to support these changes in work organization.

ADDED VALUE

• Real-time IS security with threat blocking
• Automatic interfacing of Olfeo with the company directory , making it easy to address filtering policies according to users' business directions via groups.
• Virtualization of appliances possible
• Easy-to-use console for automatic reporting
• Ergonomic interface for easy, efficient use of the solution

"We absolutely wanted a solution that was remote from the firewall. We chose Olfeo because we wanted a dedicated proxy solution whose core business was filtering. In UTMs, filtering is an option. This overloads the firewall, especially on a computer network with a hundred or so sites.
