Business Challenge

Staying on the Leading Edge

To improve agility and deliver a holistic, highly personalized customer experience, M1 designed its all-digital platform on four fundamental pillars:

1. Cloud-native for improved scalability.
2. Data analytics for immediate, actionable business insights.
3. Automation for optimizing integrations and enabling self-service for customers.
4. Hyper-personalization of services and solutions.

M1's Azure cloud infrastructure now supports everything from internal systems to customer-facing systems and data. Defending these assets against all cyber threat vectors is mission-critical.

"We're responsible for safeguarding our services, as well as the data of more than two million customers," said Nathan Bell, Chief Digital Officer for M1. "Cybersecurity is essential. From systems through processes down to the end-customer experience—we must ensure that information is protected in every way."

SOLUTION

Secure By Design

With a leading-edge technology stack in place, M1 chose Check Point Infinity Total Protection as part of its "secure-by-design" approach. Infinity Total Protection provides integrated endpoint, cloud, and mobile defenses. Protection includes advanced, real-time threat prevention with 24x7 support and updates.

The company gained immediate protection for its cloud assets and network through Check Point CloudGuard Network Security. It automates threat intelligence across all environments, allowing M1 to scale security defenses seamlessly.

Check Point Harmony Email & Office secures essential business applications against phishing attacks, and Check Point Harmony Endpoint protects endpoints against imminent threats. If ransomware strikes, Check Point autonomously detects and responds to contain and remediate it.

Visibility for Proactive, Actionable Insight

Unified security management ensures M1 provides a secure, high-performing experience. Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management automates governance across multi-cloud assets. The security team visualizes and assesses security posture, enforcing best practices and compliance.

Benefits

Efficiency Through Consolidation

Consolidating security defenses boosted operational efficiency. All network points are protected with autonomous threat prevention. Best practices can be implemented seamlessly.

Visibility Enables Greater Agility

Increasing agility was a motivation for digital transformation. Consolidating cybersecurity architecture saves time for the security team while ensuring policy and configuration consistency.

"Check Point gives us increased visibility for actionable insights," said Bell. "Not only can we respond immediately to threats, enterprise-wide visibility supports M1’s move to provide hyper-personalized services for our customers."

Protecting the Future

Strong cybersecurity defenses enable M1 to confidently drive telecommunications transformation across Singapore. Security keeps pace in the face of evolving cyber threats.

"Check Point brings us the added security needed to future-proof our technology infrastructure," said Bell.
