Established in 1928, North Cork Creameries is farmer-owned co-operative processing over 360 million equivalent whole milk litres a year into a range of value-added food ingredients and delicious dairy products.
FutureRange has worked with North Cork Creameries for the past 20 years on several different projects.
With hacking and cybercrime on the rise, securing your organization’s data through proportionate security systems is more important than ever.
The IT team works hard to ensure their IT Infrastructure operates to the highest security levels by getting the most out of their investment in technology and the tools at their disposal.
Keeping a level of security and compliance can be difficult and often requires much larger teams to support the standards that have been set by the NCC, they have done this by implementing best-of-breed, proven technology from vendors like SonicWall, Microsoft, and HPE.
FutureRange evaluated all security technologies to ensure that NCC was equipped with the strongest solutions to deliver the highest level of information security. North Cork Creameries recently upgraded all their firewalls to high-end SonicWalls, to provide best-in-class security while also future-proofing NCC for future expansion. As Ransomware becomes more prevalent across industries and the economic impact that this has on organizations like NCC, Futurerange provided a whitelisting application solution known as Threatlocker, that implements a zero-trust network by applying an implicit deny rule across endpoints. This means that only pre-approved applications are allowed to run on the NCC network.
The threat landscape had been sufficiently reduced for North Cork Creameries by implementing the above technology.NCC is very well managed and responsive to external threats while maintaining access to business systems for those working in their offices and remotely. The planning of their infrastructure and choice of technology allows them, to be very reactive to change while maintaining responsiveness and security.
