Gimv is a European investment company, listed on Euronext Brussels since 1997. It invests in companies that fit into one of four investment platforms: Connected Consumer, Health & Care, Smart Industries and Sustainable Cities. It has offices in Belgium, Netherlands, France and Germany.
As Gimiv made the transition to the cloud, they sought out stronger security solutions that understand and prevent cloud threats.
On a typical day, Gimv receives 1,000 emails an hour. CloudGuard SaaS flags all suspicious mails, removing any threats before they arrive at a user’s inbox.

My name is Kristof Poppe. I'm the IT Manager for Gimv.
Gimv is a Belgium private equity investment company.
We invest in companies. We buy companies, make them grow and then try to sell them.
As an IT department, we must make sure that everything is safe.
We are also a listed company so we must be very well-aware regarding security. For that, with a
small IT team, we count a lot on Check Point technology.
We had a cluster of two anti-spam appliances which we now replaced to the ThreatCloud SAAS
Solution As soon as we shifted over to the Office 365 offerings.
The main benefits we have of the Check Point installation is since we have a distributed
environment, we have a single control center to manage all the equipment from a single pane of
glass.
Also the integration with the CloudGuard SAAS Solution is very useful for us. Since we are a
rather small IT team, making things simple and easy to maintain are very important for us.
In a normal day, we receive about 1,000 emails every hour and we see a lot of them coming
from suspicious domains, suspicious IP addresses, so the CloudGuard SAAS already removes
a lot of them before they enter in the end-users mailbox.
This very easy to set up. It just hooks in in the mail flow and Office 365. Normally we have a lot
of help from our local integrators, Through Gen, but in this case we were able to do it ourselves.
The solution gives us a lot of insights.
We have a look at the Currenting Folder. We have also alerting and we have some reports on it.
It filters, or it protects our mailbox for our end-users and it give them confidence that mail that
ends up in the mailbox of the end-user has already passed some checks and should be legit.
Before the implementation of CloudGuard SAAS, it was rather difficult, we had to look into
several systems to find if a mail was flagged as a Malware, as a Spam mail.
We had to check several systems to dig into the locks And now with the CloudGuard SAAS
Solution, with one single inquiry we can immediately find all the reports we need.
I should recommend CloudGuard SAAS to other companies, to other people, because it's very
fast to set up, does just do the job, and you have, with a single, simple solution, a good
protection of your mailboxes.
