Zscaler™ Enables Network and Application Transformation for MAN Energy Solutions

MAN Energy Solutions, a leading provider of largebore diesel engines and turbomachinery, was facing challenges due to rapid technological changes, particularly in the field of IoT. With engines and systems of all sizes deployed globally, many of which were in motion, the company was struggling to keep up with the pace of change. Additionally, the company's large and distributed global workforce was increasingly mobile, requiring mobile access to web apps and custom business applications. The traditional approaches to network and app security were proving inadequate for the modern cloud deployments that enabled global scale and access. The company was seeking a solution that would make these applications dark to the internet, with authenticated access only between trusted users and trusted applications. The improved speed and agility gained in cloud deployment was being offset by a poor user experience associated with accessing apps through legacy corporate VPN solutions, with increasing appliance, software, and MPLS networking costs. Furthermore, there was a desire to gain security advantages associated with making the apps invisible on the internet.

MAN Energy Solutions, based in Augsburg, Germany, is the world’s leading provider of largebore diesel engines and turbomachinery for marine and stationary applications. The company designs two-stroke and four-stroke engines that are manufactured both by the company and by its licensees. MAN Energy Solutions also designs and manufactures gas turbines. The product range is rounded off by turbochargers, propellers, gas engines and chemical reactors. The company has a user count of 12,000 users in over 100 locations and 70 countries.
