Strategic Partnership for Endpoint Security
When Philips’ Group Security sought to fortify endpoint security across its global operations, they turned to LinProfs for expertise and solutions. The ambitious initiative aimed to deploy Carbon Black, a comprehensive security product, across the company’s extensive device network for advanced threat analysis and mitigation.
Global Implementation
LinProfs embarked on the challenge with great enthusiasm, orchestrating the seamless deployment of Carbon Black across Philips’ global footprint. With a staggering peak of 120,000 connected devices, LinProfs ensured uninterrupted protection and analysis capabilities across diverse regions spanning America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
To ensure compliance, LinProfs meticulously established four district clusters on AWS, strategically located to adhere to local regulations. Moreover, LinProfs undertook a significant upgrade, transitioning environments from CentOS7 to RHEL 8. This transition needed rebuilding from the scratch, presenting an opportunity to introduce automation tools like Ansible. This automation streamlined the setup process, enhancing efficiency and scalability.
