Immunity blocked malicious websites the moment our users tried to reach them. From our experience, it would take at least another day for a traditional firewall to add it to its threat database.

Whalebone Immunity Protects Leading Supplier of Electronic Products – Case Study
Driving innovation requires a secure environment, especially in cybersecurity. Without it, organizations risk losing their competitive edge. Panasonic Slovakia—a leading supplier of electronics—aims to stay one step ahead of malicious actors to ensure uninterrupted production and operations.
The challenge grows with the organization’s size, as larger entities are often targeted for financial gain or reputational impact. Protecting such an expansive network requires more than traditional firewalls and antivirus solutions, particularly given the diversity of devices, including IoT and remote endpoints.
Solution: Choosing the Ideal Cybersecurity Approach
Recognizing that firewalls alone were insufficient, Panasonic Slovakia decided to implement Whalebone Immunity. This solution met their critical needs, offering:
-
Comprehensive Protection: Blocking previously unseen threats and ensuring secure connections across all devices, including mobile and remote endpoints.
-
Ease of Deployment: A seamless setup that required minimal effort, allowing for immediate threat mitigation.
-
Broad Compatibility: Effective security across diverse operating systems and device types.
“Nowadays it is all about cybersecurity. Firewalls are not enough anymore. Regular people click on everything, so you have to implement a solution that fights that.”
— Lubomir Gavenda, IT Specialist, Panasonic Slovakia
The deployment process included installing six new virtual servers—three for Immunity and three for internal management—completed within a single day. Once operational, Whalebone Immunity began blocking malicious network communication immediately, demonstrating its value to the Panasonic security team.
Result: Immediate and Quantifiable Impact
Whalebone Immunity provided Panasonic Slovakia with a crucial layer of network security without disrupting user experience. The solution's implementation extended to their remote workforce through Home Office Security, addressing vulnerabilities previously unprotected by endpoint security and VPNs.
Key outcomes include:
-
Flawless Implementation: A quick and seamless setup process with no interruptions to operations.
-
Enhanced Protection: Proactive blocking of malicious activities, including zero-day threats, ensuring network integrity.
-
User-Friendly Operation: Employees noticed no changes, except when harmful actions were prevented, minimizing workflow disruptions.
“Until now, we had no system that would protect our phones or remote computers. We had to rely on endpoint security and VPNs. That is why we rolled out Whalebone’s Home Office Security, which should cover all of this for us.”
— Lubomir Gavenda, IT Specialist, Panasonic Slovakia
