Our Client:
Fabb Furniture is the leading regional furniture and carpet retailer in the UK with an established base in the East of England where it has traded for over 40 years.
With 22 sites defined requiring protection, visibility and control of their network, activereach proposed Cisco Umbrella as the solution.
Cisco Umbrella provides the first line of defence against threats by protecting Internet users wherever they go. The cloud Umbrella delivers complete visibility of internet activity across all locations, devices, and users, and proactively blocks requests to malicious destinations before a connection is even established.
