With the advancement of digital transformation, cost reduction and efficiency increase have gradually become a key driving force for high-quality development not only in all walks of life, but also in dairy enterprises. Dairy enterprises are large in scale and have many branches, and they cover the full-link and full-scenario business processes from pastures to end consumers. Therefore, how to achieve closer and safer office collaboration and interconnection and ensure the orderly progress of enterprise digital intelligence is a topic of widespread concern in the dairy industry, which is also the current challenge and opportunity of the big brand Beingmate.
The Group has already captured this pain point of business needs, and is fully prepared in terms of technology, and this technical matching and implementation is to build a secure office channel with the concept of 'zero trust'.

In order to ensure the orderly progress of enterprise digital intelligence, Beingmate needs to build an efficient and secure IT infrastructure to meet the needs of timely and close interconnection between employees.
To this end, Beingmate joined hands with Volcano Engine Feilian to jointly explore a new digital office model of "security and borderless collaboration". While optimizing the digital office experience of employees, it also accelerates the flow of information within the enterprise, thereby bringing more significant cost reduction and efficiency improvement results to the enterprise.

Challenges and countermeasures for cross-regional interconnection of employees across the country
The essence of the "zero trust" philosophy is that the flow and access of data to the system is considered untrustworthy and needs to be continuously verified. For employees, they only need to verify their identity, and the follow-up operations are automatically completed by the system.
The concept of "zero trust" is forward-looking and technologically convenient, which can effectively reduce the risk of external business intrusion, standardize the secure access of employees to office systems, and meet the growing digital management needs of enterprises. However, for many enterprises, if the scheme is too complex, the input cost and construction difficulty are high. Therefore, in the process of implementing the "zero trust" construction, Beingmate finally firmly chose the Volcano Engine Flylink solution after careful consideration, which fully meets the actual needs of the enterprise:
First of all, this solution has strong data security capabilities. The services and data assets of the dairy industry are directly related to product quality and food safety, which puts forward higher security requirements for equipment management of employees, refined data control of the whole link of dairy products, and privacy data protection of consumers.
Second, the data connection efficiency of each branch is fast. Beingmate has 2000+ employees, has set up six domestic modern industrial bases and logistics centers in Tangqi, Anda, Tianjin, Dunhua, Beihai and Yichang, and has more than 20 branches in China. In the face of a large number of personnel and high concurrency, traditional VPN technology is difficult to meet the requirements of branch network access and service penetration, and it is inconvenient to expand capacity and costly.
In addition, it meets the access of multiple scenarios and is convenient for employees to use. Employees often travel across the country and need to access the company's office environment through mobile devices. In the past, in order to meet the needs of secure office, it was necessary to install multiple software such as VPN and terminal security products, which not only cost high procurement, but also made management cumbersome and inefficient. Therefore, Beingmate hopes that one product client can realize multiple product functions and be managed in a unified manner when hybrid office access.

飞连“All in One”，让“零信任”全面落地
The first step in building a "zero trust" office environment should be to set up high-quality, efficient, and low-cost virtual network access. Next, we need to focus on two aspects, on the one hand, to converge the exposure and control the risk exposure, and on the other hand, to focus on the core and focus on the most valuable and authoritative data management.
Create a faster remote work experience
Feilian VPN adopts a new network tunnel technology, supports UDP/TCP dual protocol and multi-node automatic optimization, and operates more lightly, transmits more efficiently, connects faster, transmits more securely, and saves resources. Beingmate employees can access the nearest local VPN node, which greatly reduces the service access latency.
More accurate data security management mode
A complete zero trust solution includes terminal data security, using the FlyLink DLP function, which can automatically identify sensitive data, automatically locate data sources and flow paths, greatly reduce the risk of data leakage, and ensure the security of milk powder core formula and consumer data.
A simpler, more efficient and safer way to work
In terms of login method, Beingmate originally had a single AD domain authentication, but in order to ensure the convenience of employee access, FlyLink assisted Beingmate to open up a variety of authentication sources such as enterprise WeChat, mobile phone number, and company email. For example, the most commonly used WeCom by Beingmate employees allows employees to access all trusted office systems with one click, no matter which branch location they are traveling to, and view the data they care about in real time, which improves login efficiency and avoids risks caused by account theft.
Bao Weihua, CIO of Beingmate, believes that the Flylink solution shows its uniqueness in many aspects. First of all, whether it is the "All in One" concept in the hybrid office scenario proposed by FILINK, or the product architecture of one platform that connects identity permissions, networks, and terminal management, they are very clear and match the remote office needs of Beingmate. Secondly, Feilian has been widely used in ByteDance, from self-research and exploration to practice, and the stability and reliability of the product have been widely verified, which also enables Beingmate to use it with more confidence.

Business accompanies the secure flow of data assets
At present, the "zero trust" office solution with Volcano Engine Flylink as the core has been successfully applied to Beingmate's headquarters and branches across the country, and it has achieved remarkable results in remote office support, data leakage prevention, and secure access in hybrid office scenarios. At this stage, 6 factories and more than 20 branches of Beingmate have fully adopted Flylink, realizing efficient collaboration and close cooperation between various organizations to ensure that safety and business development are synchronized. At the same time, the mobile terminal devices of more than 2,000 employees of the group are managed in a unified manner, effectively ensuring data security, preventing the leakage of sensitive information, and simplifying IT operation and maintenance management.
Bao Weihua, CIO of Beingmate, explained: "The promotion and application of new tools and systems within the company has summarized a set of mature training and assessment processes. ”
The above is a microcosm of the mutual achievement of technology and business, and at the same time, it also provides a benign model demonstration for the traditional manufacturing industry from the perspective of safe office: the use of Flylink, through the "All in One" method, solves the full-link security guarantee from employee access to cross-plant interconnection to risk interception, and optimizes the office experience of employees.
End
In the future, Beingmate also hopes to discuss with the FlyLink team the feasibility of integrating AI capabilities into the enterprise's digital office security management system, so as to provide better services and products for everyone. At the same time, Volcano Engine will continue to explore new technology applications to provide enterprises with more efficient and intelligent services.
