Information Security for an Energy Company

Cyber threats are more sophisticated than ever, making information security a critical priority for enterprises.
At accilium, we help organizations tackle these challenges by adopting cutting-edge security frameworks. Recognizing this, a leading energy company implemented a Zero Trust approach to protect its digital infrastructure and ensure secure, seamless access for its workforce.​

The Challenge

In one project, we addressed the significant challenges posed by the shift to remote work, which introduced new vulnerabilities and heightened the risk of cyberattacks. Outdated VPN technology proved insufficient to meet modern security requirements, leaving the organization exposed to potential threats.​

Selecting the right Zero Trust platform became essential to align with both security and operational objectives. This required a careful evaluation of vendors to ensure the chosen solution would meet the organization’s needs effectively.​

Additionally, the migration of over 20,000 users to the new platform had to be executed without disrupting business operations, making seamless implementation and transition planning critical to the project’s success.​

What we achieved

We defined the technical and business requirements for the project and conducted an in-depth analysis of seven longlisted vendors. This process allowed us to narrow the field to three shortlisted vendors, with whom we conducted Proofs of Concept (PoCs) to evaluate the best fit for the organization’s needs.​

After careful evaluation, we selected the optimal platform vendor and minimized risks through a staged implementation and rollout, planned over one year. This approach ensured a smooth transition while maintaining operational continuity.​

We successfully transitioned over 20,000 users from legacy systems without disruptions, maintaining business operations throughout. To further enhance security, we established robust policies for managing inbound and outbound traffic and secured critical data center applications on the new platform.​ Finally, we ensured high user adoption by providing over 50 hours of training and proactive communication, ensuring that all users were well-prepared for the transition.​
