About The Customer
The customer is a leading global media and entertainment company with a diverse portfolio that includes news and entertainment television networks, a premier motion picture company, significant television production operations, a leading television stations group, world-renowned theme parks, and a suite of leading Internet-based businesses. Over the past few years, the company has been transitioning from traditional broadcast technologies to IP-based services to keep up with industry trends and improve efficiency.
The Challenge
The company, a global leader in media and entertainment, was facing a significant challenge in migrating from traditional broadcast technologies to IP-based services. The shift was necessary to keep up with the evolving industry trends and to ensure efficient data movement within the company. However, their existing solution, a multi-vendor proxy access, was not meeting their needs. It was causing frequent outages and operational issues, and the IT department had no visibility into threats or performance issues. The company was also exposed to upper-level application threats due to the lack of deep inspection. The challenge was to find a secure, high-performance solution that could effectively move content without negatively impacting performance.
The Solution
The company decided to replace the multi-vendor proxies with a single solution, Zscaler, while still leveraging their existing networking and security infrastructure. Zscaler was the only solution on the market that could provide a reliable, secure proxy service to the company’s employees while giving the IT department total visibility into threats and performance issues. The Zscaler service allowed the company to move broadcast content securely through standard IP networks, saving significantly on infrastructure and maintenance costs. It also provided a stable environment, freeing up the IT team to focus on more strategic initiatives. The deep level of inspection of network traffic eliminated upper-layer application threats, and the enhanced visibility and control provided through the Zscaler reporting dashboard allowed the IT department to show tangible, metrics-based results to business units.
