Jules Chooses Ekinops for Cybersecurity Solutions

PARIS, Oct. 8, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- French menswear retailer JULES, with over 350 stores across France and owned by Association Familiale Mulliez, has chosen Ekinops cybersecurity solutions to modernize its web security and better support its evolving digital usage. The decision, made to improve visibility of Internet usage, simplify security policy management, and strengthen employee protection against web-based risks, comes as JULES seeks to enhance its digital security posture.

Based in Roubaix and employing 2,800 people, JULES was in search of a replacement solution that would provide greater visibility into Internet usage, make filtering policies easier to manage, and strengthen employee protection without compromising user experience. Ekinops, a leading provider of optical networks, connectivity, and SASE cybersecurity solutions for service providers and enterprises, was selected for its performance, ease of integration into the existing information system, and its ability to facilitate the migration of filtering rules.

The solution deployed at JULES is built around several complementary components of Ekinops' cybersecurity portfolio, including Secure Web Gateway (SWG), on-premises Domain Name System (DNS), and Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB). The target scope includes headquarters usage as well as store environments.

Ekinops teams also supported the upskilling of JULES teams, providing dedicated support, regular follow-up, and continuous optimization from pre-sales through to operations. The implementation has resulted in smoother browsing, stronger protection against risky websites, more accurate classification, simplified administration, and dashboards that are easier for IT, security, and management teams to use. The solution strengthens web security across the enterprise and for mobile users, while improving visibility, access traceability, and day-to-day control.

Ekinops' solutions are designed to meet performance and compliance requirements, making them a trusted choice for JULES.

The deployment of Ekinops' solutions marks a significant step in JULES' digital transformation, enhancing the company's ability to protect its employees and customers while maintaining a seamless user experience. The partnership between JULES and Ekinops underscores the growing importance of robust cybersecurity measures in the retail sector, particularly as businesses increasingly rely on digital platforms for their operations.
