About The Customer
The customer in this case study is a large enterprise food company. The company has a policy against publicly endorsing vendors, hence the company's name has been kept confidential. The company operates on a large scale and was facing significant challenges in terms of its security infrastructure. The company was seeking a solution that could easily integrate with its existing infrastructure, provide strong detection of advanced threats, and be deployed across multiple sites and managed as a single system. The company was also looking for a cost-effective solution.
The Challenge
The case study revolves around a large enterprise food company that was facing significant business challenges. The company was struggling with the detection of advanced threats hiding in web, email, and lateral spread traffic. The existing infrastructure was not integrating well with the necessary security measures, and the company was unable to deploy security systems across multiple sites and manage them as a single system. The company was also grappling with the prioritization of newly discovered threats based on risk and severity. Furthermore, the company was seeking a cost-effective solution that could easily integrate with their existing infrastructure and did not require specialized appliances.
The Solution
The company turned to Cyphort to address these challenges. Cyphort offered a solution that easily integrated with the company's existing infrastructure and provided strong detection of advanced threats. The solution was flexible enough to be deployed on commercial servers, VMs, and cloud, eliminating the need for specialized appliances. Cyphort's system allowed the company to deploy across multiple sites and manage as a single system. The solution also prioritized newly discovered threats for the security teams based on risk and severity. The company used Cyphort's web collectors positioned at their network perimeter to detect threats as they entered or exited their network. They also used collectors to examine traffic as it traversed their network laterally to look for threats spreading internally. The solution integrated with their SIEM or other orchestration tools to provide additional intelligence around potential threats.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
