Ranger Energy Services Implements SASE for IT Resiliency

This case study details the implementation of a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution by Ranger Energy Services, a prominent player in the U.S. oil and gas industry. The company faced challenges with outdated IT systems, substandard cybersecurity, and an overburdened IT team. To address these issues, Ranger transitioned from a legacy VPN to Windstream Enterprise's SASE solution, which included components such as Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) and Firewall as a Service (FWaaS). The deployment resulted in improved network performance, reduced trouble tickets, and enhanced cybersecurity measures. The case study outlines the successful implementation process, highlighting the significant improvements in network stability and user satisfaction. Additionally, it emphasizes the role of Windstream Enterprise's Cyber Security Operations Center (CSOC) in providing proactive support and alerts to ensure ongoing network security. Overall, the transition to SASE has allowed Ranger Energy Services to streamline operations and enhance IT management across its 25 locations.
