About The Customer
Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. (GPI) offers engineering and design work for building, infrastructure, power, transportation and telecommunications projects. Founded in 1966, the firm has 1,500 employees, 20 offices in the U.S. and more than $200 million in annual revenues. GPI is a top engineering design firm in the U.S., known for its extensive field-based work where engineers, scientists, and other staff design and build various infrastructure projects. The company has a significant portion of its workforce operating remotely, which presents unique cybersecurity challenges.
The Challenge
At Greenman-Pedersen, one of the top engineering design firms in the U.S., much of the action happens in the field. That’s where engineers, scientists and other staff design and build bridges, highways, golf courses, sustainable and walkable urban centers and more. An organization that is often conducting field-based work can present cybersecurity challenges. For example, a significant portion of staff work remotely, making it difficult to patch and maintain security. Moving from McAfee endpoint protection software to Bitdefender GravityZone Elite has provided GPI with increased protection and streamlined security administration.
The Solution
Today, GPI uses Bitdefender GravityZone Elite to protect 1,900 workstations, 35 physical servers, and 125 virtual servers. The environment primarily runs Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Hyper-V. In addition, GPI uses GravityZone Elite’s Sandbox Analyzer, an endpoint-integrated sandbox to analyze suspicious files, detonate payloads, and report malicious intent to administrators, and HyperDetect, a next-generation security layer that provides tunable machine learning with advanced heuristics and anti-exploit techniques. Applications running in GPI’s environment protected by Bitdefender include Microsoft Office 365, Autodesk AutoCAD, Adobe, Bluebeam Revu, and MicroStation CAD, among others.
