Security in unique industries

At the core of Williams F1’s headquarters in the UK are the fully managed AT&T Enhanced Virtual Private Network Services (Enhanced EVPN) allowing the Williams F1 team to effectively and efficiently do business every day. Unusually, Williams F1 does not have multiple office locations, but the sport in which the company operates dictates a need for the racing division to change locations, every two weeks for 9 months each year, to accommodate the Formula One season. This involves approximately 20% of the company’s 500-strong workforce needing to connect to the company’s corporate network from a variety of racing locations around the world. With such a nomadic workforce the number of mobile devices in circulation is growing, so the company needs more secure and reliable networks to be in place. AT&T deployed a secure remote access solution with the AT&T Global Network Client to allow the extensive traveling personnel the opportunity to connect as if in the office, no matter which location or time zone they are in.
