Mekanotjänst Industrier
Mekanotjänst Industrier is a cooperating partner in the area of mechanical manufacturing. Mekanotjänst Industrier is made up of a combined expertise of subsidiaries, and operate in the fields of telecom, electronics, engineering, and medical technology industries. The company currently employs 240 people located all over Sweden.
The IT technician at Mekanotjänst Industrier located at Ljusdal in Sweden says “that it is necessary to have solutions like the Secunia Security Manager in businesses today. It is simply impossible to keep up on vulnerabilities in all the products, all by yourself. The reason for buying the Secunia solution is the concern for business continuity - we have to know the danger before it hits us. We have activity 24-7 and downtime is not accepted”.
Before Mekanotjänst got started with the solutions from Secunia, the IT technician handled issues of security by searching the Internet for vulnerability information. This would often result in a lot of information and still he was not confident that he had all the information he needed. “There is always the human factor, you could easily miss information” he says.
This way of handling security issues was not going to be satisfactory in the future, so when the IT technician received a call from Secunia, he first committed to a trial and at the end of the trial period Mekanotjänst was ready to buy.
“Now we get all the information, we need to have” he says ”and especially the SMS messages, that alert you on vulnerabilities whenever and where ever you are, are of great value to me”.
Today Mekanotjänst can be certain that they receive all the information that is relevant to them. Mekanotjänst Industrier has centralized the group’s IT environment into a shared data center equipped with a high level of security and expertise, effective backup management and centralized virus protection.
Thanks to the cost-effective and reliable IT environment, the group’s companies can use the system rationally, which results in good opportunities for business growth.
“Before security issues just were not prioritized” the IT technician says, “but times are changing and today Mekanotjänst avoids attacks and takes a proactive approach to security issues".
