 Zero trust begins with secure access to all apps

The solution implemented in the technical and construction company KONKAT SA, concerned the implementation of a fast, easy but mainly functional way of replacing the most non-maintainable technology of the company, in order to provide safe, upgraded and centralized access to its staff. These requirements were achieved with the integration of the BIG-IP APM (Access Policy Manager) platform of F5 by Pylones Hellas. The BIG-IP APM solution is a complete platform, which offers an organization a central point of user authentication and access to internally protected resources, so that all possible access needs are met, both on-premises and in the cloud!

CyberSecurity OnBoard

The solution implemented for Alassia NewShips Management Inc., one of the largest Greek shipping companies, was the “Cybersecurity Onboard” solution. This specialized solution is based on the combination of new generation firewalling technologies and Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR (Extended Threat Detection and Incident Response). The combination of the above protection mechanisms, both at the installation level and at the management level, ensured the optimal protection of the infrastructure of Alassia NewShips Management Inc.
