About ABB Logistics Center Europe GmbH

The ABB Logistics Center Europe located in Menden,
Germany is responsible for ABB logistics across Europe.
It is part of ABB, a global leader in power and automation
technologies that enable utility and industry customers to
improve their performance while keeping environmental
impact to a minimum.
ABB operates in more than 100 countries, maintains offices
in 80 countries and has approximately 120.000 employees,
of which about 11.000 in Germany.

The Challenge

The USB Ports of approximately 65 Workstations at the
ABB Logistics Centers can be easily accessed by all users.
Portable devices like USB Flash Drives, MP3 Player or digital
cameras could be connected to these ports at any time.
The challenge was to stop the use of private unauthorized
devices while maintaining the required productivity.

Interferences with business IT due to Virus or Malware
infections and other disruptions that can be caused by
uncontrolled portable devices needed to be prevented.

Additionally, potential unauthorized transfers of data to and
from portable devices had to be blocked.

The Solution

With the implementation of Secure it Easy, ABB now
protects its USB ports effectively. The use of portable
devices is being controlled and the network administrator
has the ability to audit the connection of any device in
detail using the logging function.

The integrated E-Mail notification feature sends real time
alerts to the Network Administrator whenever an
unauthorized device is connected.

After implementing these endpoint security measures, the
productivity of PC users has been preserved, since the
legitimate use of the company’s own portable devices can
be authorized.
Since installing Secure it Easy, the PCs of the ABB Logistics
Center Europe are no longer threatened by USB Flash
Drives or other devices.
