About The Customer
BOLMET SA is a raw materials and metals corporation headquartered in Boleslaw, Poland. Founded in 1991, the company initially focused on trading non-ferrous metals and raw materials. Over the last decade, BOLMET SA has expanded its business to include scrap trading and the development and processing of lead and zinc scrap. This expansion was facilitated by acquiring a stake in the recycling plant LZR, leading to a merger in 2007. Today, BOLMET SA is a significant player in the raw materials and metals industry, utilizing a large number of Internet-based systems and platforms for daily business operations, including banking and online trading.
The Challenge
Large and small businesses today rely on technology as a means of sharing information, conducting commerce, and collaborating across offices as well as across geographies. The rising adoption of laptops, tablets, smartphones and a mobile workforce have only further put an emphasis–and strain–on the IT community, forcing administrators to prepare for every type of IT challenge. With advanced adoption of technology comes advanced risk. Every device that connects to a company’s network represents a potential entry point for malware. In an age of cyber terrorism, criminals only need a simple computer to create havoc for businesses, consumers, and individuals. Years of data, transactions, intellectual property and competitive secrets can all be shared with the world easily, if just one unsuspecting employee opens an email from a mobile phone and releases a virus. That is the risk and vulnerability of today’s networks and no company is immune. Companies of all sizes and industries are taking steps to implement leading technology that can protect them from zero-day threats and unknown files that creep into their IT environment.
The Solution
For the past year, BOLMET SA has been using Comodo’s Endpoint Security Manager (ESM) solution to keep its endpoints safe. The company implemented Comodo’s patent-pending Run-Time Automatic Threat Containment (RATC) technology to protect its endpoints from known malware and unknown threats. Comodo’s ESM software suite brings five layers of defense (antivirus, firewall, host intrusion prevention, automatic containment, and file reputation) right to the desktop environment. The RATC technology eliminates malware outbreaks and operating system contamination by automatically running untrusted and unknown processes in a secure and isolated environment. The Comodo ESM dashboard is used by the IT team at BOLMET SA to control all aspects of endpoint security, providing panoramic insight and control of all endpoints. This includes the ability to terminate endpoint processes, stop or start services, uninstall applications, and delete unwanted files without causing any inconvenience to the end user.

Continuous Casting Machines in a Steel Factory
With a very broad range of applications, steel is an important material and has been developed into the most extensive alloy in the engineering world. Since delivering high quality is absolutely crucial for steel plants, ensuring maximum productivity and the best quality production are the keys to competitiveness in the steel industry. Additionally, working conditions in steel factories are not suitable for workers to stay in for long periods of time, so manufactures usually adopt various machines to complete the steel production processes. However, the precision of these machines is often overestimated and the lack of flexibility also makes supervisors unable to adjust operating procedures. A renowned steel factory in Asia planned to improve its Distributed Control System (DCS) of furnaces as well as addressing the problem of insufficient accuracy. However, most well-known international equipment suppliers can not provide a satisfactory solution and local maintenance because the project needed new technologies to more accurately control equipment operations. By implementing Advantech’s automated monitoring and control solution, steel factories can not only improve the manufacturing processes but can also allow users to add additional functions to the existing system so as to make sure the operation runs at high efficiency.
