Raising Leroy Merlin Italia’s Threat Intelligence Maturity to a Higher Level

Leroy Merlin is an international home improvement and gardening retailer, founded in 1960. Headquartered in France. 

In Italy, with 53 stores and 28 million annual customers, security has always been a top priority for Leroy Merlin Italia (LMIT). Its customer data is its lifeblood, and it recognizes it must be protected accordingly. As part of its cybersecurity strategy, LMIT approached QuoIntelligence to ensure the highest level of security protection for its Italian network infrastructure.
