Leading Global Restaurateur Deploys WatchGuard at Airports & Motorways

October 27, 2014 By The Editor

HMSHost takes security very seriously. It comes with the territory when you operate in more than 100 airports worldwide, including 20 of North America’s busiest. The company operates a portfolio of award-winning national, local and proprietary restaurant brands in airports and motorways with sales in excess of $2.7 billion annually.

HMSHost deployed WatchGuard UTM appliances at hundreds of airports and motorways worldwide.

Each and every HMSHost transaction must be secured to protect customer information. That’s why the company recently deployed WatchGuard UTM appliances and our Dimension security visibility tool. The WatchGuard appliances report HMSHost data back into WatchGuard Dimension, allowing the company to quickly identify problems, threats and trends. The result allows HMSHost to proactively evaluate policies, optimize security and safeguard corporate and customer data.

“We have hundreds of food and beverage locations throughout airports and motorways worldwide, and thousands and thousands of employees and customers that rely on the networks at these locations. Network security is critical to keeping their data, our data, and the customer’s data safe,” said HMSHost Chief Information Officer, Sarah Naqvi. “We choose to work with WatchGuard because they not only had the best combination of security services, performance and affordability, but also because they had great reporting capabilities for PCI so we can more easily ensure compliance standards are met.”

WatchGuard helps secure HMSHost locations by delivering a complete set of UTM services, including Packet Filtering, Intrusion Prevention, Application Control, WebBlocker, Gateway AntiVirus, spamBlocker, Reputation Enabled Defense, Data Loss Prevention and Advanced Persistent Threat Protection.
