Challenge	Terma A/S, the largest aerospace, defense, and security company in Denmark, was facing a significant challenge in tightening its security to protect nation-state secrets from targeted cyber-attacks. The company, which works on highly confidential projects for civilian and military applications, was a prime target for cyber-attacks that could potentially disrupt internal operations and pose risks to national security. Terma needed to update to the latest technology on a regular basis to stay ahead of the hackers who were constantly trying to infiltrate their systems. The main challenge was that hackers are very patient, so Terma always had to be on its toes with the latest technology. Read More
About Customer	Terma A/S is a Danish company with over 1,400 employees worldwide. The company operates in the aerospace, defense, and security sectors. Terma’s developments include coastal and airport radar surveillance solutions, a lightning observatory, missile avoidance systems for fighter planes, and satellite equipment for the International Space Station. Every day, Terma sees attempted cyber-attacks on its systems affecting internal operations and posing risks to national security. The company is a prime target for cyber-attacks due to the nature of its operations and the confidential projects it undertakes. Read More
Solution	Terma first implemented Check Point Security Gateway protection more than 20 years ago and has since added other solutions including Check Point SandBlast™ Mobile, the mobile threat defense solution. However, conscious of the need to constantly upgrade to the latest technology, Terma has now incorporated Check Point Infinity for greater functionality and agility. It delivers pre-emptive threat prevention using threat intelligence, open interfaces, and consolidated management through a single pane of glass. Although confidentiality means that the total security environment cannot be revealed, it uses Virtual System Extension (VSX) to segment its infrastructure into different security zones. The best security measures for each zone are then selected for increased effectiveness. Read More Log in to view content

Impact #1	After upgrading to Check Point Infinity, Terma now participates in the Check Point early availability (EA) program. This allows Terma to work closely with Check Point to influence new security solutions, delivering increased functionality and the agility needed to react quickly to changes within the company. With Terma’s enterprise license agreement for Infinity, it is easy to implement additional Check Point licenses that support upgrades, new projects, and expand security services. For example, obtaining additional virtual system licenses has enabled more gateway virtualization, allowing increased management services to efficiently scale Terma’s network. Terma is now focused on moving data to the cloud and will again consider Check Point to support this transition.
