Creating a secure, fulfilling staff experience
The Business Challenge
Facilitate world-leading technologies and systems by securing critical business applications that support core functions for ~800 university staff.
The Solution
Unisys Stealth® with identity-based micro-segmentation to safeguard remote work and enable continuous communication using a Zero Trust Networking Architecture.
Results and Benefits
- Achieved the ability to allow staff to securely access resources while in the office and also from remote locations during the COVID-19 pandemic without putting additional pressure on conventional technologies such as VPN
- Simplified support mechanisms and reduced infrastructure costs when compared to alternative solutions
- Gained legacy application compliance to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) and helped compliance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)
We selected Unisys Stealth because it is software-based and integrates with our existing infrastructure to protect confidential data. The original purpose was to solve a tactical problem of getting PCI compliance. We now see that Stealth is a strategic solution for the university, enabling us to provide secure access to university resources for our staff during and beyond the pandemic.
