What is Rentokil Initial's approach to security?
Rentokil Initial is enhancing its security posture by deploying VMware Workspace ONE and VMware Carbon Black Cloud in its hybrid security operations center. This approach allows for greater control over devices, reducing the risk of cyberattacks while working towards a Zero Trust security model. The company has centralized device management to improve visibility and proactively identify security risks.
How does Rentokil Initial support remote work?
To support its 'work from anywhere' strategy, Rentokil Initial equips its field staff with mobile devices, including printers, allowing them to update records and print paperwork on-site. This approach not only enhances efficiency but also reduces vehicle emissions and eliminates paper processes, contributing to a more sustainable operation.
What role does VMware play in Rentokil Initial's security strategy?
VMware has been a trusted partner for Rentokil Initial for over 13 years, providing technology and expertise that support digital transformation. The collaboration has led to the implementation of VMware Carbon Black Cloud and Workspace ONE, which enhance application security and standardize device management. This partnership has enabled Rentokil to block up to 95% of threats and respond quickly to any potential risks.
