“We wanted to improve our network and take advantage of migrating to the Cloud. Orixcom were able to streamline our connections, so we no longer needed two separate networks and their solution allowed us to realise significant cost savings.

Challenges
- Persistent email threats:
NationLabs faced a constant influx of phishing and CEO fraud emails, which were becoming increasingly sophisticated and harder to detect.
- High risk of CEO rraud:
CEO fraud posed a severe risk as employees were often tricked into sharing highly confidential information, believing the emails were from senior management.
- Lack of robust email security:
The organization lacked an effective solution to block malicious emails before they reached employee inboxes, leaving sensitive data vulnerable.
- Urgent Need for Data Protection:
Protecting sensitive information was critical to safeguard operations, maintain reputation, and uphold client and stakeholder trust.
- Operational and Reputational Impact:
Failure to address these threats could lead to operational disruptions, financial losses, and long-term damage to NationLabs’ credibility.
