关于客户
Southlands English School in Rome, Italy, is a private, independent day school for boys and girls with a small IT infrastructure. Over the past few years, Southlands invested in information technology including the expansion of two computer labs, wiring classrooms, and providing students and teachers with high-speed internet access. Even with an extremely small IT staff and budget, Southlands sought a technology partner who could protect its infrastructure from malware and secure its multiple software licenses and endpoints. “We knew that as we advanced the technology capabilities at our school, the risks that come with technology—including malware, spyware and spam— could increase, which could cause major havoc for a smaller IT system like ours,” said Luca Iacono, Technology Officer for Southlands English School. Southlands needed a security solution that helped protect their endpoints from malware threats and could reduce the time required to manage endpoints, all at a price that would fit within their budget. “We have an IT staff of one and a modest budget, but our security needs are the same as any large enterprise. We need malware protection and a streamlined way of managing multiple endpoints from one central location,” said Iacono.
挑战
There are over 390,000 new malicious programs discovered every day across the globe, according to recent data from third party security analysts. These malware threats are designed to hack into infrastructures to steal personal information, financial and corporate records, or plant infections that cause destruction and chaos. A blacklist of files helps keep malware at bay. But what if a file is unknown and doesn’t appear on the blacklist? Traditional antivirus technologies cannot block the unknown file and by default, allow it to enter and infect an IT system. All of these new threats start out as unknown files. With the non-stop onslaught of cybercrime, there is a dangerous lag time between malware being made public and appearing on a blacklist. Traditional blacklisting simply cannot keep up - volume outpaces supply. Traditional antivirus solutions also use ‘default-allow’ technology, which only stops recognized, blacklisted files, and focus only on detection; not prevention. Using technology that recognizes and contains unknown files to prevent cyberattacks and malware penetration is now required. Most small business and organizations have limited budgets and a small number of IT staffs, and without affordable IT security layers in place, they are susceptible to cyberattacks.
解决方案
Southlands evaluated all of the known endpoint security providers, including Symantec, McAfee and Comodo, using its own internal benchmark testing, reviews, cost analysis, and looking at overall ease of use. Southlands also tested free offerings from the major security companies—including Comodo’s Internet Suite of antivirus and firewall technologies— to get real-time evaluation data and familiarity with the products. After evaluating all products, it was clear to Southlands that Comodo had the solution it needed. The Comodo Endpoint Security (CES) with Run-Time Automatic Threat Containment (RATC) technology automatically traps unknown files and executes them in a secure, virtual container. Unknown files are allowed to run while in containment, which enables students and teachers to continue their work and focus on their priorities. However, files in containment cannot infect the operating system, modify the data on the hard disk and cause any damage. Comodo Endpoint Security Manager not only protects against zero-day threats, it also gives administrators total visibility and control over the software, hardware and services of every machine. CESM’s central management console and user-friendly policy wizards allow Southlands’ IT administrator to generate and enforce security configurations within minutes. “We’ve been running Comodo Endpoint Security Manager for over a year now and we have never encountered a security or malware issue,” said Iacono. “Comodo’s automatic containment technology—which clearly separates Comodo from all other products – keeps our endpoints secure. The fact that my IT system can automatically contain a piece of malware gives me peace of mind. Every enterprise should use Comodo ESM if they want to protect themselves from unknown malware.”

Case Study
IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.
