Case Study: Gaining Visibility Into The Experiences And Issues Of Securitas France Users

Security services is a growth industry fueled by global development and the need, in many countries, for custom services such as specialized guarding and surveillance. This demand for security services is amplified by the generalized use of technology. In 1998, Securitas Security Services, a Swedish company, acquired Proteg, a French security services company. This acquisition and the security market expansion transformed the French IT department: From a relatively limited and older set of applications, Securitas France had to move to more modern and reliable IT services. In an obviously security-conscious business, assessing the vulnerability of workstations was of prime importance. But gaining better visibility into application flows to and from end users soon became another requirement. How to select a solution that is simple, pragmatic, scalable, and evolving in functionalities without taxing a very cost-conscious IT organization was a challenge that Securitas France overcame successfully by selecting Nexthink's solution.
