Sick AG Realizes Its Cloud Vision
Sensors are omnipresent in the automotive manufacturing, aviation, transport, food packaging, and recycling industries. With sensor intelligence, SICK enables Industry 4.0 processes and creates solutions for the safe and efficient control of operations, protecting people from accidents and avoiding environmental damage. Today, data recorded by sensors is often exchanged via the cloud. Five years ago, SICK turned to the cloud to drive digitisation and modernize its IT security, creating a cloud-first network architecture.
Since the existing four internet gateways in Europe, Asia, and North America were a limiting factor for a cloud-first infrastructure, the IT department took advantage of the Zscaler cloud proxy to pave the way for secure internet breakouts at each location. Each time SICK rolls out a new cloud application, Hinze gets validation for his decision. “Not a month goes by in which we are not certain that starting our digital transformation with security was the right thing to do.”
With SICK AG as a real-world example, more and more manufacturers are seeing the value of Zscaler to securely enable innovation. Join your peers, find out how you can innovate your factory with Zscaler.
