Reliable, secure connectivity across 136 countries.
A network that reached everywhere, but strained.
SOS Children's Villages is a global non-governmental organization that advocates for the needs of children and supports disadvantaged families, active in 136 countries. Its network fans out to regional offices and then on to country subsidiaries. As it expanded, visibility dropped and reliable connectivity, performance and security became too hard to sustain - and with a less than optimal network, the ability to support partners and help children in need began to suffer.
Optimize what they had
The existing network needed to work harder and more reliably across regional offices and country subsidiaries.
Improve performance and reach
New services had to layer on to boost performance and connectivity everywhere the team works.
Close security weaknesses
Growing complexity had opened gaps that needed strengthening to keep the mission running.
Global access, local speed, secure by default.
SOS Children's Villages turned to other NGOs for advice, and they recommended Open Systems. We implemented our SASE Experience, with the Mission Control Operations Center and cloud-delivered security and network services providing the global access, local speed and security the team needed.
With security and the network run for them, SOS Children's Villages can stay focused on improving the lives of children and families and helping communities prosper.
Solutions in play
One platform behind a worldwide mission.
A single SASE platform now carries connectivity, performance and security to every corner of the organization.
Other customers, same pattern.
Different sectors, one move: fewer people running more network and security, with the numbers to show for it.
MPLS replaced, one view across 62 countries.
A new, secure network in under two months.
3,650 remote connections in seven days.
The thinking behind the move.
Why converging secure access, Zero Trust and identity is what keeps a globally distributed organization like SOS Children's Villages both connected and safe.
