Cloud security and increasing connectivity

IT is an important element in Sonneveld's business operations. The production process is continuously monitored and the IT environment provides support for the sales and administration departments. Due to high dependence on available connectivity and the increasing use of cloud-based applications in particular, Sonneveld needed an extensive analysis of their IT security and network infrastructure through an IT risk assessment.

“Thanks to Nomios Group's Managed firewall service, we no longer have to worry about anything that has to do with firewall management. This saves a lot of time. With this cost-efficient solution we strengthen our IT security structurally.” - Ismail Yasemin, CIO at Sonneveld

Firewall management: a business challenge

During the risk assessment stage the network infrastructure, configuration and firewall software were analyzed by Nomios Group cyber security specialists. Among other findings, an upgrade of the firewall software and configuration was required. After carrying out this review, it became apparent that maintaining the Firewall software and ensuring the the configuration was updated and optimized on a constant basis was a unnecessarily time-consuming process for Sonneveld. With the Managed firewall services from Nomios Group, this issues has been solved. Nomios Group's security specialists manage and monitor in real-time all the firewall configuration and activities.

Nomios Group’s industry expertise gave us a lot of confidence during the initial engagement phase and they clearly demonstrated their expertise in the area of cyber security. In a short time we knew how critical network elements could be better secured and optimized. Nomios Group is therefore the logical choice for Sonneveld to be entrusted with the management of our firewalls.” - Ismail Yasemin, CIO at Sonneveld
