About The Customer
Terma is a global defense and aerospace contractor based in Denmark. The company provides mission-critical solutions for aerospace, defense, and security customers. Operating subsidiaries around the world, Terma has 1,300 employees. Security is paramount for the company as it develops and customizes components for complex defense systems like military aircraft, radar, and surveillance. Terma employees routinely work with highly confidential information, and the company must meet customers’ specific security requirements before they can collaborate on projects.
The Challenge
Terma, a global defense and aerospace contractor based in Denmark, faced a significant challenge in securing mobile connections to internal corporate information. The company's employees routinely work with highly confidential information, and the company must meet specific security requirements before collaborating on projects. As mobile devices became essential to employees, Terma needed to ensure that these devices and remote connections to corporate assets were as secure as desktop systems and connections. The company had implemented multiple layers of security, such as firewalls, filters, encryption, and others, to protect devices and information in all its product areas. However, when it came to securing mobile access to data for its 600 mobile users, Terma needed a robust solution.
The Solution
Terma chose Check Point Capsule Workspace (Workspace) to secure mobile access to data. Workspace includes a secure container that isolates corporate data on iOS and Android mobile devices. It provides users with one-touch access to corporate email, calendars, contacts, documents, and applications, and it enables remote access to internal corporate resources. For IT, Workspace encrypts business data and applications seamlessly to ensure secure access for authorized users. Unlike competing solutions, Workspace communicates directly with Terma’s existing Check Point firewall, reducing potential points of failure and improving the user experience by making data access faster and more efficient. Workspace also provides IT with information about how the solution is being used, helping Terma ensure that it is meeting its compliance requirements.

Airbus Soars with Wearable Technology
Building an Airbus aircraft involves complex manufacturing processes consisting of thousands of moving parts. Speed and accuracy are critical to business and competitive advantage. Improvements in both would have high impact on Airbus’ bottom line. Airbus wanted to help operators reduce the complexity of assembling cabin seats and decrease the time required to complete this task.

Aerospace & Defense Case Study Airbus
For the development of its new wide-body aircraft, Airbus needed to ensure quality and consistency across all internal and external stakeholders. Airbus had many challenges including a very aggressive development schedule and the need to ramp up production quickly to satisfy their delivery commitments. The lack of communication extended design time and introduced errors that drove up costs.

Accelerate Production for Spirit AeroSystems
The manufacture and assembly of massive fuselage assemblies and other large structures generates a river of data. In fact, the bill of materials for a single fuselage alone can be millions of rows of data. In-house production processes and testing, as well as other manufacturers and customers created data flows that overwhelmed previous processes and information systems. Spirit’s customer base had grown substantially since their 2005 divestiture from Boeing, resulting in a $41 billion backlog of orders to fill. To address this backlog, meet increased customer demands and minimize additional capital investment, the company needed a way to improve throughput in the existing operational footprint. Spirit had a requirement from customers to increase fuselage production by 30%. To accomplish this goal, Spirit needed real-time information on its value chain and workflow. However, the two terabytes of data being pulled from their SAP ECC was unmanageable and overloaded their business warehouse. It had become time-consuming and difficult to pull aggregate data, disaggregate it for the needed information and then reassemble to create a report. During the 6-8 hours it took to build a report, another work shift (they run three per day) would have already taken place, thus the report content was out-of-date before it was ever delivered. As a result, supervisors often had to rely on manual efforts to provide charts, reports and analysis.
