The Challenge
Experity, a dynamic Health Information Technology company, was formed from the merger of the two largest urgent care Electronic Medical Records (EMR) companies in the country. The merger led to a rapid expansion of personnel, office locations, software, and services, creating unique challenges for the security team. The team was tasked with protecting the company from loss events of any kind, requiring business continuity and standardization. The small security team was overwhelmed with the task of managing security operations and building resilience in their security program. The company's growth also meant that the security team needed a platform to vet alerts from the increasing number of employees and contractors. The existing Managed Detection and Response (MDR) platform was inadequate as it only monitored network and server activity and not endpoint activity.

The Solution
Experity found its solution in Rapid7, purchasing MDR for incident detection and response, Managed AppSec to enhance their application security, and InsightVM for vulnerability scanning. These tools provided activity monitoring, dynamic application security testing, and advanced vulnerability management analytics, enabling Experity to automatically assess, understand, and respond to risk across the entire IT infrastructure. Rapid7's Managed AppSec provided validation and context that allowed the security team to focus on critical issues. The team also had full access to a dashboard for greater visibility. Rapid7's team met directly with Experity developers responsible for remediation, eliminating communication issues. Rapid7's services also helped Experity meet regulatory compliance standards such as HIPAA and HITRUST.

Discrete Manufacturing Industries (Fiberglass Pipe)
The implementation of ERP software in a Discrete Manufacturing organization needs to be strategic, irrespective of its size and capacity. The client had already implemented an ERP system which fulfilled their requirements but was not efficient enough. Efficiency here meant Synchronized Planning, Updating and Multisite Planning. Planning at client’s place was done outside the ERP system. Lack of proper synchronization to the ERP system paved way to huge delays in the changes getting updated in the system. These delays caused disruption in achieving delivery schedules. Multisite Planning is a solution to an organization which has multiple production units (may or may not be geographically separated) and thus needs planning across these units to synchronize production activities within them. The client also has multiple factories and hence Production Planning control is very essential in their case. Since Multisite planning was not possible with Baan ERP system, this was another bottleneck for the client.

Major Aerospace Company Automates Asset Management
The O&M division of an aerospace and global security company was using spreadsheets to manually track more than 3,000 assets assigned to students and staff. Maintaining audit trails for this high volume of equipment became increasingly time-consuming and challenging. The chore involved knowing precisely what equipment was on hand, what had been issued, its location and the name of the custodial owner of each item. Every aspect of this task was carried owner of each item. Every aspect of this task was carried out by individuals with spreadsheets. Manually documenting the full lifecycle of each asset added to the burden. This included tracking maintenance requirements and records, incidents and damages, repairs, calibrations, depreciation, and end-of-life data.

Securing a Large Data Center in the EMEA Region: An IoT Case Study
A leading data-center operator in the EMEA region, with multiple facilities spanning over 25,000 square meters, faced significant security challenges. The operator experienced interruptions in their internal IT network due to unsupervised work of third-party technicians. Despite having a high-end building control system that provided 24x7 monitoring and control to all the building’s infrastructure, the data center was vulnerable from a cyber perspective as it was connected to the IT network infrastructure. The operator launched an urgent OT cyber security project that included both IT-OT network segmentation and OT network asset mapping and anomaly detection. The main objectives were to harden the security of the server systems, secure the facility’s power supply and server cooling system, strengthen the segmentation between building and operational systems, create a visual OT network map, and set up a system for presenting supply-chain attacks that may threaten the data center through equipment vendors’ maintenance activities.

Asia Airfreight Terminal Enhances Operational Efficiency with CommScope's RUCKUS Solutions
Asia Airfreight Terminal (AAT), a leading cargo handling company based out of Hong Kong International Airport, was facing challenges with its Wi-Fi network, which was critical for the functioning of its automated Material Handling System (MHS) within the warehouse. Any interference or lost signals could directly impact their operational efficiency. AAT also had separate networks for their office and CCTV cameras, which made the job of their data center challenging. The company was in search of a Wi-Fi network configuration that could streamline their networks and reduce its network management workload. AAT was already running on equipment from a competing vendor, and the new solution needed to prove its worth in scalability and reliability.
