Evolve Secure Solutions, a specialist provider of storage, security and infrastructure has announced a successful project at AVEVA, an engineering IT software provider, that has deployed a Palo Alto Networks solution to improve the definition, enforcement and administration of security policies. AVEVA is a clear market leader in tools and services to help large engineering projects. 85% of the world’s top 50 shipbuilders and Plants owned by 27 out of 30 of the world’s top-quoted chemical companies were designed using technology from AVEVA.
AVEVA places a great deal of importance on security, both to protect its own IT systems and intellectual property. Security is also critical for new areas such as its AVEVA NET which provides a powerful, ISO15926- compliant information management hub to control, link, evaluate and deliver all types of data and documents – not just engineering information – in a secure environment, regardless of application and format.
The company has used a legacy Cisco ScanSafe solution alongside traditional Firewall and Antivirus systems for many years to protect over a 1000 users spread across 20 sites supporting operations in 10 countries. However, it was felt that a higher level of protection was needed to secure against emerging threats while delivering a centralised in-line security architecture that could not be circumvented by its highly technical staff to ensure AVEVA’s security policy is enforced effectively.
