Prolifics' customer has been serving business customers for over 20 years, offering everything from office supplies to technology products to furniture and more. Dedicated to improving customer experiences, the Company embarked on a growth strategy in 2012 aimed at uniting the Web and brick and mortar stores through a corporate revamp. In order to keep personal information secure, company leaders also looked to improve security and policy enforcement for their website as a critical component of supporting this new strategy. Further, the Company was driven to comply with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS). With this in mind, the Company began to explore WebSphere DataPower to address their security concerns. Business and IT leaders were confident that DataPower would enable better, faster security and a higher level of compliance for their website. Seeking the expertise of a trusted partner, the Company engaged Prolifics to implement the solution, demonstrating DataPower's ability to help the meet compliance regulations far more quickly and efficiently than before. The appliance now offers front line defense for inbound and outbound internet traffic by acting as a Web facing application firewall and isolates information for further security.
