About The Customer

RMK Marine is a leading global designer and builder of superyachts. The company is renowned for its high-quality naval and commercial ships, as well as superyachts. Its employees apply advanced technology, complex designs, and integrated engineering solutions to meet stringent client requirements. Like most organizations, RMK Marine relies on its infrastructure to support its essential business operations, from shipping design to business transactions with its global customers. Security is critical, because the firm's engineers and designers are constantly working with sensitive proprietary data.

The Challenge

RMK Marine, a global designer and builder of superyachts, faced the challenge of protecting its intellectual property and customer transactions. The company's infrastructure supports essential business operations, from shipping design to business transactions with its global customers. Security is critical as the firm's engineers and designers constantly work with sensitive proprietary data. The company also needed to securely support a remote workforce during the global pandemic. New threats are emerging all the time, and RMK Marine also focuses on protecting its environment from viruses, ransomware, and other threats that could disrupt operations, to keep its business running without interruption.

The Solution

To gain the advanced protection it needed and consolidate its varied security products, RMK Marine deployed Check Point Next Generation Security Gateways to its data center. This provided robust threat protection across the 60 servers and 150 clients in its data center, including design servers, file servers, and workstations. For additional protection for email and Internet traffic downloads, the company deployed the Check Point Sandblast Appliance. Its Threat Emulation prevents infections from undiscovered exploits, zero-day, and targeted attacks. The solution quickly inspects files and runs them in a virtual sandbox to discover malicious behavior, preventing it from entering the network. The solution is managed using the R80 SmartConsole which provides complete administrative control via a single pane of glass.

Operational Impact

The Check Point solution proved versatile when the global pandemic forced RMK Marine to rapidly migrate its workforce to remote connections. The company was able to quickly pivot to a new work model to accommodate its additional remote users, without disrupting operations. Stopping new and unknown threats was a key requirement for RMK Marine. Its Check Point SandBlast Appliance enables real-time prevention against zero-day, ransomware, and other cyber threats. With its complete Check Point solution, RMK Marine has established a robust, scalable foundation to meet not only its current security needs, but future threats. As technology advances, the threat landscape will continue to evolve as well. Fortunately, Check Point will enable RMK Marine to continue to stay ahead of emerging threats, and chart a course for continued success in the years ahead.
