Lunik IT Case Study

Overview

Lunik IT is an IT services company founded in 2008, offering technological infrastructure, system integration, customized application, and cloud computing solutions. Through strategic leadership and a clear focus on cyber security, Lunik IT provides top-tier IT services and has become a trusted source of security, guidance, and reliability for small- and medium-sized businesses navigating the complex digital landscape.

Challenge

As a business-technology managed services provider (MSP), Lunik IT's leadership knew it needed an extremely secure infrastructure to deliver its services. However, as Jean-François Côté, Information Security Director at Lunik IT, explained, the growing MSP faced significant challenges in securing its infrastructure.

As Lunik IT was growing rapidly, the internal security team selected various security tools hoping to protect their users, data, and systems. Unfortunately, these tools proved costly, making maintaining a consistently robust security posture challenging. Their challenges ranged from struggling to manage individual firewalls across separate departments to a lack of a centralized view of cyber security activities across their enterprise.

To meet these challenges, Lunik IT set clear goals to refine its internal cyber security operations, enhance oversight across its network, and implement scalable, high-end security capabilities.

Solution

Lunik IT significantly advanced its cyber security capabilities by implementing Check Point Software’s suite of cyber security products. This decision followed a detailed evaluation process. Lunik IT chose Check Point due to its innovative cyber security history and comprehensive offerings.

• Lunik IT chose Quantum Spark for their next-generation firewall, which provides firewall, VPN, antivirus, application visibility and control, URL filtering, and zero-day malware protection.
• To simplify security management, Lunik IT chose Quantum Smart-1 Cloud, part of the Infinity Portal, which provides scalable security management delivered as a cloud service with zero-touch deployment.

Lunik IT enhanced its endpoint security with Harmony Endpoint and Harmony Mobile, which automatically detect threats without compromising performance. Further, Harmony Email and Collaboration was selected to secure cloud-based platforms like email, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, ensuring protection against evolving threats.

The Infinity Portal provides a single, cloud-based console for managing security across on-premises firewalls, networks, cloud, mobile, and IoT devices. It delivers a comprehensive view of cyber security threats across the suite of products.

Outcome

The adoption of Check Point's cyber security solutions significantly transformed how Lunik IT secured its internal infrastructure. The team now manages cyber security risks more efficiently, thanks to Check Point's ability to defend against new and known attacks and unify security management.

"Check Point has streamlined our security processes and has provided much-improved control and insight," Côté explained. This efficiency has allowed Lunik IT to focus on more pressing initiatives, enhance their security defenses, and improve overall readiness.

Côté emphasizes the partnership with Check Point, looking forward to expanding the use of their products to enhance security against phishing emails and protect cloud productivity services.
