Background:

ADA Möbelfabrik GmbH—Austria’s largest furniture manufacturer, with over 2,300 employees across four locations—is committed to the highest quality, including in the IT sector. The company was seeking a suitable solution to secure its internal networks against unauthorized access.

Challenge:

• Increase in network-enabled devices (smartphones, laptops, tablets)
• Protection not only against external threats, but also against internal threats
• Compatibility with existing switch infrastructure, including older models

• Centralized management of all locations via WAN connections

   

Solution:
 

In collaboration with the IT service provider Antares NetlogiX, ISL’s NAC solution, ARP-GUARD, was implemented:

• Centralized management of network security across all locations
• Dynamic VLAN assignment and detection of unknown devices
• Captive portal function for guest access

• Support for all common authentication methods (SNMP, RADIUS, 802.1X) as well as ISL’s own methods

   

Result:

• Smooth implementation at headquarters
• Planned expansion to all locations
• High satisfaction thanks to comprehensive support from Antares NetlogiX and ISL
• Internal network optimally protected against unauthorized devices

• From ADA’s perspective, the investment has fully paid off

   

Conclusion:
The implementation of ARP-GUARD at ADA ensures long-term network security—a crucial foundation for the furniture manufacturer’s digital future.
