HOW LIMONTA SAFEGUARDED ITS OPERATIONS WITH BULLWALL’S RANSOMWARE CONTAINMENT
Founded in 1893 in Costa Masnaga in the Lombardy region of Italy, Limonta is built upon over 130 years of family history, having grown and developed in one of Europe’s oldest textile areas with a rich tradition of craftsmanship. Limonta specializes in the creation, production, and, in particular, the finishing of fabrics and leather. Always focused on creativity and innovation, Limonta has set the standard for products ‘Made in Italy’ across the fashion, furnishings, and automotive sectors worldwide.
Today, the company employs 620 people across two production sites and continually invests in research and development to realise sustainability-oriented innovations. Sustainable innovation is one of the top characteristics that define Limonta and its member companies, both in terms of product quality and production process improvement.
For us, it was crucial that we didn’t just receive a simple demo of BullWall Ransomware Containment, but that we were able to carry out a test directly in our environment, bringing the solution into our reality.
INNOVATION IN IT: SAFETY FIRST
Limonta continually invests in advanced technologies to optimize efficiencies and promote organic growth. In recent years, the company has intensified its focus on artificial intelligence and automation, making IT innovation a key strategic driver of its business.
“Without ever forgetting,” points out Fabrizio Bergamini, CIO of Limonta, “there is a fundamental aspect that must guide all innovation: information security. It is a certainty that we want to guarantee this first and foremost to our customers. This approach has enabled us to obtain the ISO 27001 certification, confirming our high standards of data protection. The company has adopted a security strategy that secures our infrastructure, and also supports our users with training and awareness-raising activities.”
Bergamini continues, “People play a fundamental role in our strategy, but they need to be supported by advanced solutions. We had already implemented several capable systems, but lacked a specific solution to protect us against ransomware, which is an increasingly common threat.”
BullWall Ransomware Containment, proposed by Ricoh Italy, was found to be the most effective of the various vendor solutions the company evaluated.
ADVANTAGES
BullWall immediately became a key part of Limonta’s IT security management stack, as it provides several advantages:
- Proactivity helps to thwart ransomware threats
- Increases the speed of response to ransomware attacks, stopping an attack before there is an impact on the business
- Provides the IT team with automatic alerts
- Dashboard monitoring offers a view of the state of play
- The solution does not impact network, infrastructure or device performance
Bergamini concludes: “We needed a solution to complete our security puzzle, and this turned out to be the missing piece. BullWall’s Ransomware Containment solution provides advanced, integrated protection, which meets our needs perfectly. In addition, BullWall provided support and guidance, ensuring a customised design and a seamless implementation. And they continue to optimize the product over time to meet evolving threats.”
