About The Customer
Centrify is a leading cybersecurity company that serves more than 5,000 organizations globally. Its security platform converges Identity as a Service (IDaaS), Privileged Access Management (PAM), and Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) into a single solution. As organizations move to Amazon Web Services (AWS), Centrify validates access to resources, ensures that the devices being used are trusted endpoints, and helps to establish role-based access. Recently, Centrify decided to move all its software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications to AWS and became an AWS Partner Network (APN) Advanced Technology Partner.
The Challenge
Centrify, a leading cybersecurity company, faced several challenges when moving its software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications to Amazon Web Services (AWS). The first challenge was cloud inventory management. With new application deployments, various security groups, IAM roles, policies, and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets were created. Due to the dynamic nature of SaaS environments, the Centrify IT team had to spend significant time to stay updated with their environment and assets. The second challenge was cloud compliance. Centrify needed to ensure continuous compliance with various frameworks in their rapidly scalable AWS environment. Misconfigurations or policy changes could immediately make them non-compliant. They needed automation capabilities built into their existing workflow process. The third challenge was network visibility. Centrify required a solution that could provide a detailed view of the security infrastructure and help identify misconfigurations. They needed a tool to synthesize and visualize information from multiple accounts and regions from a single pane of glass.
The Solution
Centrify chose Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management to address their challenges. CloudGuard Posture Management improved inventory management and situational awareness, providing a single pane of glass to manage coverage for all of Centrify's dynamic cloud assets. It allowed Centrify to filter and get immediate information for any instance or object in their environment. The Compliance Engine from CloudGuard Posture Management continuously monitored Centrify's cloud infrastructure and helped detect policy violations. When a policy violation occurred, CloudGuard Posture Management would immediately push a notification that could trigger an automatic response. The integration of CloudGuard Posture Management with Centrify's existing systems was quick and seamless. After only a few days, all their SaaS applications were on-boarded to the CloudGuard Posture Management platform. The REST API and single sign-on nature of CloudGuard Posture Management simplified the process, making it easy for Centrify to establish the right level of permissions to their systems.

Discrete Manufacturing Industries (Fiberglass Pipe)
The implementation of ERP software in a Discrete Manufacturing organization needs to be strategic, irrespective of its size and capacity. The client had already implemented an ERP system which fulfilled their requirements but was not efficient enough. Efficiency here meant Synchronized Planning, Updating and Multisite Planning. Planning at client’s place was done outside the ERP system. Lack of proper synchronization to the ERP system paved way to huge delays in the changes getting updated in the system. These delays caused disruption in achieving delivery schedules. Multisite Planning is a solution to an organization which has multiple production units (may or may not be geographically separated) and thus needs planning across these units to synchronize production activities within them. The client also has multiple factories and hence Production Planning control is very essential in their case. Since Multisite planning was not possible with Baan ERP system, this was another bottleneck for the client.

Major Aerospace Company Automates Asset Management
The O&M division of an aerospace and global security company was using spreadsheets to manually track more than 3,000 assets assigned to students and staff. Maintaining audit trails for this high volume of equipment became increasingly time-consuming and challenging. The chore involved knowing precisely what equipment was on hand, what had been issued, its location and the name of the custodial owner of each item. Every aspect of this task was carried owner of each item. Every aspect of this task was carried out by individuals with spreadsheets. Manually documenting the full lifecycle of each asset added to the burden. This included tracking maintenance requirements and records, incidents and damages, repairs, calibrations, depreciation, and end-of-life data.

Securing a Large Data Center in the EMEA Region: An IoT Case Study
A leading data-center operator in the EMEA region, with multiple facilities spanning over 25,000 square meters, faced significant security challenges. The operator experienced interruptions in their internal IT network due to unsupervised work of third-party technicians. Despite having a high-end building control system that provided 24x7 monitoring and control to all the building’s infrastructure, the data center was vulnerable from a cyber perspective as it was connected to the IT network infrastructure. The operator launched an urgent OT cyber security project that included both IT-OT network segmentation and OT network asset mapping and anomaly detection. The main objectives were to harden the security of the server systems, secure the facility’s power supply and server cooling system, strengthen the segmentation between building and operational systems, create a visual OT network map, and set up a system for presenting supply-chain attacks that may threaten the data center through equipment vendors’ maintenance activities.

Asia Airfreight Terminal Enhances Operational Efficiency with CommScope's RUCKUS Solutions
Asia Airfreight Terminal (AAT), a leading cargo handling company based out of Hong Kong International Airport, was facing challenges with its Wi-Fi network, which was critical for the functioning of its automated Material Handling System (MHS) within the warehouse. Any interference or lost signals could directly impact their operational efficiency. AAT also had separate networks for their office and CCTV cameras, which made the job of their data center challenging. The company was in search of a Wi-Fi network configuration that could streamline their networks and reduce its network management workload. AAT was already running on equipment from a competing vendor, and the new solution needed to prove its worth in scalability and reliability.
