in Milan. “To meet this need, we maintain
several security controls across our
network, as well as regularly conducting
cybersecurity training.
“We deployed our first VPN solution
in 2006 to enable secure access to
our systems and it was time to progress
our capabilities.”
Giandomenico Oldano, Director of
IT Operations for RCS MediaGroup,
added: “As a group, we have an ongoing
strategy to help our staff embrace smart
working. This is part of an initiative to
improve the work-life balance of our
employees and reduce their travelling
time, which in a busy city like Milan can
be very time-consuming.”

As part of this work–life balance
strategy, RCS MediaGroup has invested
in more remote, mobile and cloud
technologies and recently moved its staff
onto Microsoft Office 365 to encourage
this transition.
“To meet this need and as part of
our commitment to ensuring best
practice secure access, we decided
to upgrade our legacy VPN to provide
more capacity and to better integrate
with new cloud services such as Office
365,” said Venanzetti.
“We examined several options and
Pulse Secure provided us with a
modernised platform with more
advanced features including endpoint
compliance and cloud single sign-on.
We found the tool comparatively simpler
to administer, very interoperable and
with a broader featureset.”
The upgrade process was straightforward
and the simplified management interface
allows RCS MediaGroup to set up
enterprise-wide policies that make it easy
for its remote users to connect to its
critical publishing systems.
The solution also incorporates client
checking technology that ensures
that its users’ devices, both corporate
and personally owned endpoints, are
running the right system and security
patches before they can attach to the
corporate network.
