About The Customer
Good Sam is the world's largest organization of recreational vehicle owners and outdoor enthusiasts. The Good Sam Club makes outdoor adventures safer and more rewarding for over 2 million members by offering a wide range of discounts and services. Good Sam enables recreational vehicle (RV) owners to enjoy their time on the road. Its parent company, Camping World Holdings, is a leading retailer of outdoor recreation products and services. The company has experienced double-digit annual growth, largely due to the increasing popularity of camping among North American households and an initial public offering in 2016.
The Challenge
Good Sam, the world's largest organization of recreational vehicle owners and outdoor enthusiasts, faced a significant challenge in managing its cybersecurity posture. With the company's rapid growth and numerous acquisitions, the cyber threats facing the organization increased substantially. However, their cyber protection infrastructure, which originally included McAfee Sidewinder firewalls and Cisco ASA devices, was not keeping pace. The existing security systems lacked the ability to provide visibility into advanced threats attacking the business. Good Sam had no way of knowing what threats were lurking in its infrastructure or targeting its end users. This lack of insight into potential threats posed a significant risk to the company's security, prompting the management to decide on a significant upgrade of its security posture.
The Solution
To address the security challenges, Good Sam deployed Check Point 15600 Next Generation Security Gateways in their data center. These firewalls provided comprehensive multilayered protections including URL filtering, IPS, Antivirus, Application Control, Anti-Bot, and Email Security. They also included Check Point SandBlast Zero-Day Protection with Threat Emulation, which monitors traffic at the CPU level to detect and stop attacks before they evade detection. Alongside this, Good Sam implemented Check Point R80 Security Management, which consolidates views, policy, threat management, and automation into a single console. This solution provided visibility and control across the entire security infrastructure. Logging, monitoring, event correlation, and reporting were also unified, providing instant insight into security events across the network.

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

Revolutionizing Construction Equipment Rental: A Case Study on ProsRent and ENO8
ProsRent, a startup that won the 'Best Financial Opportunity' and 'Best Pitch' at CodeLaunch 2016, aimed to revolutionize the way construction professionals source and rent heavy equipment. In the construction industry, project managers and contractors typically rent heavy equipment from supply companies. However, predicting inventory can be challenging, and finding the required equipment at the right time and place can be a hassle. If the preferred vendor doesn't have the required equipment, it results in wasted time and money in searching for it, often leading to higher costs due to non-preferred rates and increased delivery costs if the vendor is located far from the job site. Suppliers, on the other hand, desired access to a wider base of trusted renters that they didn't have to vet themselves and wanted to offer dynamic rental pricing based on demand and availability in their market. ProsRent's challenge was to produce a minimum viable product that was fast and first to market but also strong enough to engender loyalty and repeat business from the target market.
