Korff AG in Oberbipp near Solothurn is a leading provider in the manufacture and sale of specialized film products.
In order to meet the high demands on operational security and efficiency, the IT infrastructure was analyzed and further developed together with Raptus.
The aim was to modernize the infrastructure, maximize security for end devices and users and increase efficiency through a faster Internet connection.
The plan for transformation
Together with Mr. Erb, the requirements were specified and initial solution ideas were developed. Microsoft Intune was used to strengthen IT security and automate software management. Instead of a shared server, a VDI infrastructure was chosen to better isolate user access.
The introduction of a high-performance 10 GB Internet connection was also taken into account. The migration was planned in detail to ensure transparency and a smooth process. The coordination with third-party providers, such as ERP partners and electricians, relieved Korff AG during the implementation.
The cloud and new hardware are to be integrated step by step without affecting ongoing operations.
Day of Migration / Truth 🚀
Onthe day of the migration, the clear objectives and tasks were implemented according to plan. After an intensive working day that lasted until midnight, the new Zero-Trust Modern Workplace was ready for use.
The network was secured by a next-generation firewall. This monitors and controls actors, services and the content of network traffic to provide comprehensive protection.
- The company devices were integrated into the Microsoft Cloud to ensure efficient management and security.
- Security and productivity measures optimized the end devices.
- An automatic classification between secure and insecure devices has been set up to further minimize risks.
- Access to cloud resources is strictly controlled to guarantee maximum security.

Additional measures
As part of the debriefing, further steps to safeguard the network were defined and implemented swiftly:
E-mail security
Emailtraffic was protected by the use of Hornet Security. This solution offers multi-layered protection against phishing, malware, spam and other fraudulent activities.
Device protection with modern EDR solution
Anadvanced endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution has been implemented. This automatically intervenes in the event of attacks, e.g. by isolating affected devices to prevent the spread of threats.
