The Challenge
Operating blind is always uncomfortable for IT professionals. In cybersecurity, it can be scary. That’s why Emirates National Factory for Plastic Industries (ENPI Group) replaced its prior security solution. In addition to providing limited endpoint visibility, the solution would degrade endpoint performance during software updates. ENPI considered several cybersecurity solutions and selected Bitdefender GravityZone.
About The Customer
Founded in 1995, Emirates National Factory for Plastic Industries (ENPI Group) is one of the leading manufacturers of plastic packaging solutions and paper products in the Middle East and Africa. ENPI has built state-of-the-art production facilities to provide its business customers with exceptionally high product quality. The parent company of ENPI is Saudi Printing & Packaging Company (SPPC). ENPI Group is headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and employs over 1,500 people. The company is known for its commitment to quality and innovation in the packaging and plastics manufacturing industry.
The Solution
ENPI relies on GravityZone Business Security to provide 480 endpoints with integrated EDR, threat detection and prevention, and risk analytics. GravityZone’s EDR capabilities continuously monitor the network to uncover suspicious activity and provide the tools needed to defend against cyberattacks. GravityZone Business Security Enterprise also integrates the granularity and rich security context of EDR with infrastructure-wide analytics of Bitdefender eXtended Detection and Response (XDR) technology. The manufacturer’s endpoint environment protected by GravityZone includes Microsoft Hyper-V, Microsoft Windows, and VMware servers and workstations. Applications running on ENPI’s GravityZone-protected endpoints include Infor enterprise resource planning, Microsoft Office 365, and QlikView business intelligence. In addition, ENPI uses GravityZone Patch Management to automate patching of operating systems and applications.

IoT Data Analytics Case Study - Packaging Films Manufacturer
The company manufactures packaging films on made to order or configure to order basis. Every order has a different set of requirements from the product characteristics perspective and hence requires machine’s settings to be adjusted accordingly. If the film quality does not meet the required standards, the degraded quality impacts customer delivery causes customer dissatisfaction and results in lower margins. The biggest challenge was to identify the real root cause and devise a remedy for that.

Boiler Control System for Plastic Manufacturing Applications
Factory automation applications must be equipped to handle and monitor the myriads of information from attached devices. For plastic manufacturing applications, the boiler control system plays a critical role by gathering and regulating information to ensure production is accurate and smooth. In this particular case, the customer combines eight subsystems that include power meters, water meters, alarm output, displays, and I/O status to be controlled by several intelligent controllers with Modbus RTU interface. The Modbus TCP protocol is used for this application due to the distance. System Requirements: • Modbus serial to Modbus TCP translation • Multiple slaves/masters support • Automatic Modbus TCP response time detection

Ascend Performance Materials Case Study
Ascend operations must access multiple software systems to manage day-to-day operations in an effective and secure manner. These systems generate large sets of data which contain critical information pertaining to management systems, planning and cost information in business systems and energy consumption. As a result, Ascend management was challenged with creating relevant reports reflecting performance measures in overall context of their operational process. The company’s previous process entailed collecting and analyzing data manually which was not effective, since the information collected was generated after the fact, and was too complex for collaborative use across the organization.
