The Challenge
Qlik, a leading data integration and analytics platform, was facing the challenge of expanding their cloud footprint while ensuring a cohesive, enterprise-level cloud security strategy. The company, which has grown significantly since its inception in 1993, was already using cloud services across various departments, including Research and Development (R&D) and Security teams. However, they recognized the need for holistic guidance to ensure the adequate protection of their cloud resources and data. As Qlik continued to grow as a Software as a Service (SaaS) technology provider, the use of cloud providers like Azure and Google Cloud Platform also expanded. The challenge was to maintain consistent control of their cloud environments and expand their cloud security best practices into these new environments.

About The Customer
Qlik is a leading data integration and analytics platform that helps customers turn raw data into remarkable outcomes. Founded in 1993, Qlik has grown both independently and through mergers and acquisitions into an enterprise with over 2,000 employees delivering two main platforms, Qlik Data Integration and Qlik Data Analytics. Qlik's products are used by customers to accelerate business value by closing the gaps between data, insights, and action. The company is expanding its cloud footprint and is a growing Software as a Service (SaaS) technology provider, using cloud providers like Azure and Google Cloud Platform.
The Solution
To address their challenge, Qlik selected the Rapid7 InsightCloudSec platform. They brought onboard a Cloud Architect to expand their Cloud team with the initial goal of securing their existing cloud environments, which consisted mostly of AWS accounts. The InsightCloudSec team worked closely with the Qlik Cloud team to integrate their AWS, GCP, and Azure accounts. The platform provided unified visibility and monitoring, automation and real-time remediation, and extensibility. Qlik was able to empower their employees across relevant business units to have self-service access to the cloud, safely. The Qlik Sales team worked with the Qlik Cloud team to set up scenarios of typical working environments for demonstrations in the cloud. With InsightCloudSec, Qlik was able to deploy scenarios in approximately 15 minutes, ensuring secure access and tracking of traffic.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
