Obstacle

CERM faced significant challenges while transitioning its software from a private data center to public clouds, struggling with the limitations and complexities of traditional VPNs. To accelerate deployments and simplify network management, CERM needed a globally capable, highly scalable networking solution.

Opportunity

By embedding NetFoundry’s zero trust networking into their edge environment and leveraging NetFoundry’s Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform, CERM automated its production deployments using Ansible and Jenkins in its CI/CD pipelines, ensuring secure, cloud-native connectivity.

Outcome

Industry-first innovation

This collaboration sets CERM apart as the first in the label and packaging printing industry to fully embrace and implement a zero trust architecture. The result? A significant competitive edge for CERM customers who can confidently operate in an increasingly digitized world without compromising security.

Automated deployment for instant security

From day one, new customers using CERM solutions benefit from this zero trust model. No waiting. No lengthy setup processes. Just instant, comprehensive protection that seamlessly integrates into their workflows. The deployment is programmed and automated by API integration between CERM and NetFoundry platforms.

Invisible, secure and effortless

Through NetFoundry’s secure overlay network technology, CERM delivers a private network for its customers over the internet that is invisible to bad actors. This ensures that hackers are locked out entirely. The platform leverages identity-based access, allowing only authenticated endpoints with unique, un-copyable certificates to connect to authorized services.
