The Challenge
Scheurich GmbH & Co.KG, one of the world's largest manufacturers of pottery and accessories for plants, faced significant cybersecurity challenges. The company needed to protect its IT infrastructure from the thousands of pieces of malware that surface each day. With hundreds of endpoints across desktop, laptop, and mobile devices, the company required a robust solution to ensure the timely delivery of products and secure the exchange of sensitive information such as purchase orders, invoices, production schedules, and patent information. The IT environment was vulnerable to malware attacks, which could cripple the entire system. Scheurich needed a business partner to evaluate their IT infrastructure and implement a secure solution that met their demands and budget.
About The Customer
Scheurich GmbH & Co.KG is a globally recognized manufacturer of pottery and accessories for plants, headquartered in Kleinheubach, Germany. With a workforce of 350 employees, the company produces over 20 million ceramic products annually, catering to thousands of customers worldwide. The company's IT environment is critical for sharing and exchanging information, including purchase orders, invoices, production schedules, patent information, and research & development data. This extensive use of IT necessitates a secure infrastructure to protect against malware and ensure the smooth operation of business processes.
The Solution
Scheurich GmbH & Co.KG partnered with Dr. Deutsch GmbH, a leading IT business services and solution provider in Germany, to address their cybersecurity needs. Dr. Deutsch GmbH, with its expertise in IT security consulting, IT forensics, data security consulting, and IT project management, evaluated Scheurich's IT infrastructure. They recommended Comodo Endpoint Security Manager (ESM) 3.4, a comprehensive software suite that offers seven layers of defense, including antivirus, firewall, web URL filtering, host intrusion prevention, auto-sandbox (containment), file reputation, and virus scope (behavioral analyzer). The Comodo ESM software was chosen for its ability to protect against both known and unknown threats while fitting within Scheurich's budget. The software's patent-pending automatic containment technology prevents malware outbreaks by running untrusted processes in an isolated environment, ensuring that critical, financial, and private data remain secure.
