Clarks is a global shoe manufacturing and retail company with more than 1,400 stores in 75 countries. With a complex IT network across manufacturing, distribution, retail, and the ever-increasing rise in cybercrime, Clarks took a proactive approach to secure its networks against the next generation of sophisticated cyber-attacks. Previously, the complexity of management across multiple solutions had made maintaining and managing policies significantly more difficult.

- Check Point CloudGuard Network Security to secure cloud-based solutions in minutes. Check Point’s industry-leading advanced threat protection and single-pane-of-glass management makes it easy for Clarks to ensure consistent, comprehensive security protections across its estate.
