How one company used Barracuda’s SASE platform to speed and secure business operations

Ionbond is a globally distributed supply chain firm that makes specialized plastic coatings and custom components. And because of its client list—including “big names” in aerospace, healthcare, automotive, and more—a lot of the data they store is highly sensitive proprietary information that they need to protect at all costs. 

Cyber attacks had been rising for years, and Benedict Groppe, the company’s Head of IT was determined to upgrade Ionbond’s global network infrastructure. Not only was it getting harder to secure effectively, but day-to-day management had grown too complex. Groppe’s team of 7 was responsible for 1,500 devices and 70 servers scattered in data centers around the globe.

As detailed in the complete Ionbond Barracuda case study, Groppe’s search for a solution to streamline and secure their networks soon had them looking at Barracuda.

“We explained the challenges I was facing and that we wanted to use Azure as a network backbone. They presented us with the SecureEdge product and I immediately fell in love with it.” —Benedict Groppe, Head of IT, Ionbond
