We chose Calico over other alternatives because of its cost-effectiveness, ease of deployment and configuration, and its ability to meet—and exceed—WorkBoard's requirements.

WorkBoard is a strategy execution platform that helps organizations align and execute their strategies effectively. The company needed a solution that could provide efficient, cost-effective, and scalable Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) capabilities along with network policy creation and traffic control.

WorkBoard faced three challenges: insufficient visibility and control over network and data security, a non-scalable and expensive firewall tool, and high costs and an inability to scale effectively.

Read the case study to learn how Calico addressed these challenges for WorkBoard and provided significant improvements in security, efficiency, and cost management.
