One example of how cyber security solutions are being used to improve the operations of a business while allowing them to add value added services, can be seen in financial group Nexi’s Wi-Fi network. Nexi is a provider of digital payment services and infrastructures for banks, companies, institutions and public administration. Nexi needed a more flexible access to network within their main buildings while keeping the high level of security required by their policy.
It turned to Italtel, which delivered a wi-fi coverage of Nexi buildings, (200 Cisco Access points empowered quality Wi-Fi coverage across all floors of Nexi’s buildings across six locations, including Rome, Anzola in Emilia, Cividale del Friuli and three buildings in Milan) together with the innovative Cisco MSE (ISE) solution for secure access. This deployment made it possible for Nexi’s employees to log in securely with an authentication procedure and geolocation within the building, while providing configuration settings of the Cisco MSE (ISE) solution.
Thanks’ to the efficient and fast implementation, Nexi’s Wi-Fi network was operational in less than two-months since the project was initiated, providing secure access for all its employees across its offices. Nexi’s security intelligence operations are now maintained through Italtel’s certified cyber security operation center, located in Italy.
