挑战
When Catherine Cahill started as Director of Technology and Innovation at Lyncourt School District, she entered an IT environment with little to no data around its existing systems. In a district considered data-rich but resource-poor, Cahill knew she needed to prioritize projects to secure and enhance the IT and learning environment at Lyncourt School District. The first thing on her to-do list was securing her IT environment and remediating vulnerabilities. Before finding Automox, Lyncourt School District was struggling with visibility into their environments. When it came to what servers and workstations were patched, updated, or vulnerable, things were mysterious at best. Additionally, a construction project at the school meant the IT team was physically unable to access their server room. But they still needed to find a way to make sure updates were running on Lyncourt’s endpoints.
关于客户
Lyncourt School District excels at providing their students with a rich educational experience. The district employs around 70 people and manages approximately 100 endpoints. Catherine Cahill, the Director of Technology and Innovation, is responsible for ensuring the IT environment is secure and efficient. The district is considered data-rich but resource-poor, which means they have a lot of data but limited resources to manage and secure it. Cahill's primary focus is on securing the IT environment and remediating vulnerabilities to provide a safe and effective learning environment for the students.
解决方案
After hearing that Automox solved another district’s weak security audit problems, Cahill made it her first move at Lyncourt School District to implement Automox. According to Cahill, Automox is the top tool for securing student data and keeping costs low. When Cahill sat down with Automox reps for a trial, she was amazed at all she could see. The vulnerabilities in her environment were not only easy to view, but they were also actionable. After going through cybersecurity training specific to her district, Cahill walked away with a list of actionable items she needed to remediate. After working with an Automox Solutions Engineer, Cahill was given a list of custom Worklets™ to automatically scan for her specific vulnerabilities. When starting at Lyncourt School District, Cahill encountered an unexpected roadblock: the door to her server closet was inaccessible due to construction. She literally couldn’t physically access necessary hardware. But she still had to make sure those servers were running updates. Because Automox is cloud-native and offers complete visibility, Cahill was able to remotely run updates and see if they were successful, without delay.

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.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
