Challenge	Cloetta, a successful confectionery business in Europe, has been utilizing commodity services and applications to reduce its infrastructure footprint and smart-source some business-critical processes. Remote working and cloud services are integral parts of the company's strategy to increase productivity and grow the business. However, the openness of its IT architecture posed a threat to the security of its confidential information. The use of cloud applications and the increase in remote working meant that more employees were using the internet to access services and gather information, which in turn increased the chance of getting infected by malicious applications. Cloetta was also the target for cyber threats that proliferate through the use of email, such as phishing, spam, viruses, and other malware. Read More
