About The Customer

Mid-South Steel Products, Inc. is a Missouri-based manufacturer specializing in large fuel tanks and petroleum equipment. With over 50 years of experience, the company serves customers across the United States with a complete line of above-ground and underground steel storage tanks. Employing more than 50 people, Mid-South Steel manages global purchase orders, payment information, and various internal operations through its IT network. The company’s IT infrastructure supports field employees by providing access to permits, installation records, product specifications, diagrams, and blueprints. Internally, the IT system houses payroll, employment records, intellectual property, and patents.

The Challenge

Mid-South Steel Products, Inc. faced significant challenges in managing their IT security. With a small IT department, they needed a solution that was easy to implement and manage without sacrificing security. Their existing Symantec antivirus system was difficult to manage and left them feeling vulnerable to malware and other IT threats. Traditional antivirus systems, which rely on blacklists of known bad files, were not sufficient to cope with the volume and sophistication of modern threats. Mid-South Steel needed a new security partner to protect their IT environment from these evolving threats.

The Solution

Mid-South Steel turned to Comodo for their endpoint protection and containment technology. Comodo’s threat containment solutions provide total protection against zero-day threats without impacting the end-user experience. Untrusted processes and applications are automatically isolated in a secure environment, allowing safe applications to run freely while denying malware the system access needed to deliver their payloads. Comodo’s Endpoint Security Management (ESM) software suite offers five layers of defense: antivirus, firewall, host intrusion prevention, automatic containment, and file reputation. The real-time automatic containment technology ensures that any untrusted processes are run in an isolated environment, preventing malware outbreaks and operating system contamination. The IT team at Mid-South Steel uses the Comodo ESM dashboard for comprehensive insight and control over all aspects of endpoint protection and management. The interface displays 14 critical metrics about each endpoint, facilitating rapid alerting and remediation of issues, thus keeping the network data secure.
