W.L. Gore & Associates

Overview

W.L. Gore & Associates, the innovative materials science company behind GORE-TEX®, partnered with MetaHorizon to implement a Zero Trust security architecture protecting their global research and manufacturing operations.

Challenge

Gore needed to protect sensitive intellectual property and research data across 50+ global facilities while maintaining collaboration capabilities. Their traditional perimeter-based security model was insufficient for protecting against modern threats and supporting their distributed workforce of 12,000+ associates.

Solution

MetaHorizon designed and implemented a comprehensive Zero Trust architecture with identity-centric security, micro-segmentation, continuous verification, and least-privilege access. We deployed Okta for identity management, Zscaler for secure access, and implemented behavioral analytics for threat detection.
