Challenge	LUMA Foundation, a Swiss organization that focuses on the intersection of art, culture, human rights, environment, education, and research, faced a significant challenge. The foundation needed to protect its workstations and digital assets while maintaining free and secure access for clients and visitors. This was particularly important as the foundation hosts various exhibitions and events, attracting hundreds of visitors. The challenge was to deliver a scalable solution that could meet the varying needs of the art world, balancing security with accessibility. The foundation needed to safeguard personal data and the digital works it hosts, ensuring that these works of art could not be damaged or tampered with. Read More
About Customer	The LUMA Foundation is a Swiss organization that established LUMA Arles, a cultural complex in the South of France. The foundation enables artists to experiment in the production and presentation of new work in collaboration with other artists, curators, scientists, and audiences. The foundation focuses on relationships between art, culture, human rights, environment, education, and research. It hosts various exhibitions and events, attracting hundreds of visitors. The foundation is committed to protecting personal data and the digital works it hosts, ensuring that these works of art cannot be damaged or tampered with. Read More
Solution	To address these challenges, LUMA Foundation chose Check Point Quantum Maestro, a hyperscalable security solution. The foundation selected Maestro for its scalability, high-quality Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) analytics, resiliency, processing capabilities, and sandboxing abilities. Check Point Maestro was integrated into the architecture design, serving as a central point through which all data center traffic has to pass before reaching users. It also filters external traffic before it reaches both users and the data center. With Maestro, LUMA can scale on demand, easily add existing and new gateways on demand, and dynamically allocate compute resources to Security Groups. The solution is fully operational within minutes, and when a gateway is added to the system, it gets all the configurations, the policy, and the software version, updated and aligned with the existing deployment.
