About The Customer
Väderstad AB is a globally distributed manufacturer of farm machinery, founded in 1962 and headquartered in Väderstad, Sweden. The company employs 1,550 people and is known for its dedication to innovation and quality in the agricultural sector. Väderstad's products are used worldwide, and the company has a strong reputation for reliability and performance. As a forward-thinking organization, Väderstad continuously seeks to improve its operations and infrastructure, including its IT and cybersecurity measures, to support its global business activities.
The Challenge
Väderstad AB, a globally distributed manufacturer of farm machinery, faced the challenge of replacing their end-of-life Cisco firewalls and required new email security solutions following their switch to Office 365. Additionally, they needed solutions that would be equally effective in their current on-premises infrastructure and future Azure cloud infrastructure. The procurement process for these solutions was led by Johan Båverud, Head of IT Operations, who emphasized due diligence and thorough vetting of potential solutions.
The Solution
Väderstad AB chose Barracuda CloudGen Firewall and Barracuda Total Email Protection to address their needs. The Barracuda CloudGen Firewall was selected for its clear and simple pricing, as well as its ability to be quickly and easily deployed to multiple global locations. Barracuda Total Email Protection, which combines the capabilities of five Barracuda products (Essentials, Sentinel, PhishLine, Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, and Forensics and Incident Response), was chosen to enhance email security and reduce the risk of phishing and other email threats. These solutions were selected after a thorough evaluation process that included testing products from multiple vendors.
Operational Impact
  • Väderstad AB was able to quickly and easily deploy Barracuda CloudGen Firewalls to multiple global locations, ensuring robust network security across their distributed operations.
  • The implementation of Barracuda Total Email Protection led to a dramatic reduction in the risk of phishing and other email threats, enhancing the overall security posture of the organization.
  • The chosen solutions provided Väderstad with the confidence to transition from their on-premises infrastructure to Azure, knowing that their Barracuda solutions were designed for the cloud and would enable them to fully leverage cloud-specific capabilities.
  • The clear and simple pricing of Barracuda solutions contributed to a more straightforward procurement process, allowing Väderstad to make informed decisions without the uncertainty of vague service plans.
Quantitative Benefit
  • 1,550 employees benefited from enhanced email security and reduced risk of phishing threats.
  • Multiple global locations were secured with the deployment of Barracuda CloudGen Firewalls.
