Situation
Clarke Modet is the leading intellectual and industrial property group in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries. The company protects its customers’ assets, such as patents, brands, and trade secrets, as well as advising them in matters related to privacy and data protection. Because of the nature of these activities, ClarkeModet handles a large volume of highly sensitive and confidential information. This means that it is necessary to ensure the maximum security on all of its systems to protect against possible security breaches and cyber attacks, which could endanger the organization and its customers, as Corporate Director of Prosecution and Transformatio Eusebio Yribarren explains.
Challenges
Confidentiality and information security are two key aspects for the sector that ClarkeModet operates in. This is exactly why the company decided to look for the most trustworthy and secure solution on the market. It also needed a system that allowed it to tackle the company’s geographical distribution in the most efficient way possible, given that the company has 26 offices in ten countries in Europe and Latin America.
What’s more, the constant growth in international business has increased the team’s geographic mobility. As a consequence, there is a greater need to implement a cybersecurity solution that offers complete protection for all computers and servers at all times and from any place.
Solution
To respond to all these security needs, ClarkeModet opted for Panda Adaptive Defense 360 and Panda Patch Management. “Panda offered us an integral protection solution, with continual updates, as well as proactive monitoring that allows us to offer our customers an advanced level of security. This represents an enormous advantage over our competitors,” explains Eusebio. Constant updates for security patches and the centralized management of both solutions were also reasons to choose Panda.
Evaluation
“Panda’s solutions have allowed us to take information security and confidentiality to another level for our customers, offering guaranteed protection, which is a competitive advantage for our company on the market,” explains Eusebio.
The Corporate Director of Prosecution and Transformation at ClarkeModet chose Panda Adaptive Defense 360 after a thorough process to find an endpoint security solution that would offer real, continuous guarantees to detect and get ahead of security problems. What’s more, user experience in the IT department has improved, since updates are carried out transparently and in a fully centralized way.
Main Benefits
Implementing Panda Adaptive Defense 360 and Panda Patch Management has helped the company to achieve certification for its Information Security Management System (ISMS), which endorses its maintenance, operation and support procedures for IT and communications systems under regulation ISO/IEC 27001.
As well as obtaining this important endorsement and increasing its customers’information security, these are some of the other benefits that Panda Security has provided:
- Reduced operational costs for the IT department
- Prediction and prevention of possible cyber attacks
- Continual updates for user workstations
- Zero security breaches from malware or ransomware
