Challenge	Listrak, a digital marketing platform for retailers and consumer brands, faced a significant challenge in scaling to support rapid growth and high-capacity requirements. The company needed to deliver high performance to its clients and improve its overall security posture and visibility. The challenge was particularly acute during peak retail periods like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, when network throughput could triple or quadruple, processing millions of connections per second. The platform had to deliver 100% uptime and maximum performance. However, the traditional firewall that Listrak had been using had reached its capacity limits, becoming unstable and unpredictable, and was also difficult to maintain. Read More

Solution	Listrak set a high bar for their new security solution. It had to deliver high performance and scale without compromise during peak retail periods, enhance the company's overall on-premises and cloud security, and compliance posture, and be easy to administer. After evaluating many different options, Listrak chose Check Point.

This is made possible by Check Point's Quantum Maestro Hyperscale Orchestration solution. Listrak also chose Check Point CloudGuard Security Posture Management (CSPM) to augment cloud-native security with industry-leading security intelligence, analysis, and alerting capabilities.
