Case study · Multi-site security
Standardising next-generation firewall protection across multiple UAE sites.
An anonymised, client-safe case study. Multi-site UAE businesses — industrial and trading — replaced a patchwork of ageing firewalls with one standardised Sangfor next-generation firewall estate, deployed and centrally supported by Missan Global.
The challenge
Consistent perimeter security, not a patchwork of ageing firewalls.
Businesses operating across several sites needed consistent, centrally-supported perimeter security. Instead, each site had grown its own firewall over the years — different ages, different models, different rules.
A patchwork across sites
Each location ran its own firewall, bought at a different time on a different model with its own rules — hard to keep aligned as the business grew across sites.
Ageing perimeter security
Older firewalls fall behind on threat protection, throughput and vendor support, leaving the network edge weaker exactly where it matters most.
No central view or partner
With no single standard and no accountable partner, leadership had little consistent visibility into how each site was actually protected.

What Missan delivered
One standardised Sangfor next-generation firewall estate.
Missan standardised Sangfor next-generation firewalls (NGF) across the sites — deployed and centrally supported by our engineers, with ongoing support contracts.
Standardised on Sangfor NGF
Missan replaced the mixed estate with Sangfor next-generation firewalls (NGF) — one consistent platform deployed across the sites.
One standard, every site
A common configuration and policy baseline was applied site by site, so protection no longer depended on which firewall happened to be installed where.
Deployed and supported by Missan
Our engineers handled the rollout end to end, with ongoing support contracts keeping every site centrally supported after go-live.
The outcome
In production across the sites — with one partner accountable.
No invented metrics. The result is described in plain operational terms: consistent protection, one standard and clear ownership across the whole estate.
- Standardised perimeter protection now in production across the sites.
- One consistent firewall standard, centrally supported by Missan.
- A single accountable partner for the whole multi-site estate.
Real technology
Standardised on Sangfor next-generation firewalls.
Missan Global is a Sangfor Gold Partner (Middle East). The firewalls were deployed by our engineers and are centrally supported under ongoing support contracts — one accountable partner for every site.
Why it matters
Who this pattern fits.
Standardising perimeter security across sites suits any organisation running the same operations in more than one place.
Multi-branch retailers
Retail groups running many branches on shared systems need the same standard of perimeter security at every location, not only at head office.
Industrial groups
Factories, warehouses and industrial sites depend on stable, well-supported network edges to keep operations and connected systems running.
Trading firms
Trading businesses working across several offices and stores benefit from one firewall standard and one partner accountable for all of it.
