The result
Users can now work anywhere, any time. Orica’s on-premises data centres are now cloud-enabled. And they have best-in-class security, which is central to their transformation.Orica wanted to increase productivity and drive costs down, whilst giving employees the ability to work from anywhere, at any time and on any device.
By shifting from multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) to full SD-WAN, Orica could apply more granular security policies to users, no matter where they were connecting from.
The challenge
Security is a key enabler sitting at the heart of our digital transformation.
The solution
We transformed Orica’s static network into a secure, agile infrastructure, shifting from Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) to full SD-WAN.
We helped them adopt a Zero Trust approach to their network access. This allowed Orica to apply more granular security policies to users, no matter where they were connecting from – while still enhancing user experience.
We also applied user segmentation to secure certified workloads across Orica’s server estate.
In addition to deploying a security policy and posture management platform, Orica transformed their traditional signature-based endpoint security by deploying new global detection and response capabilities.
Users can now work anywhere, anytime. This allows Orica to be more productive, while keeping costs down. And their on-premises data centres are now cloud-enabled.
Our trusted partnership with Orica means they now have the best in class security, which is central to their transformation.
According to Chris Crozier, CIO at Orica, “BT have been able to provide a tremendously valuable partnership with teams working on our MPLS to SD-WAN engagement, but also the ongoing day-to-day requirements of that network.”
“We have individual projects at scale to be able to roll out the new network requirements and support and finally we get very detailed insight depth and capability from BT to enable to business and drive the transformation that’s required.”
As BT, we’re an end-to-end trusted partner. We’re there to protect Orica’s organisation and their customers, whilst also equipping Orica with the knowledge they need in the moments that matter.
