挑战
Paul Hershberger, director of security, risk and compliance at Mosaic, aimed to improve the company's overall risk posture by modernizing the computing environment and optimizing endpoint security. Mosaic faced advanced threats from state-sponsored bad actors, hactivists, external cybercriminals, and internal bad actors. Hershberger conducted a thorough risk assessment of Mosaic's existing security infrastructure, which included traditional threat-mitigation technologies like IDS, IPS, Web and email filters, desktop firewalls, antivirus, anti-malware, and anti-spam. Despite these measures, the residual risk was almost equal to the inherent risk, indicating that the current solutions were ineffective. Hershberger sought a more effective endpoint security solution and was introduced to Bromium's unique approach by a channel partner.
关于客户
The Mosaic Company is the world's leading producer and marketer of concentrated phosphate and potash, employing approximately 9,000 people across six countries. The company mines phosphate rock from nearly 200,000 acres of Mosaic-owned land in Central Florida and potash from four mines in North America, primarily in Saskatchewan. Mosaic's products are processed into crop nutrients and shipped to customers in major agricultural centers worldwide. The company is committed to improving its overall risk posture by modernizing its computing environment and optimizing endpoint security to tackle advanced threats from various malicious actors.
解决方案
Hershberger and his team evaluated various endpoint solutions and found Bromium's simplicity and completeness to be the most effective. Bromium isolates user tasks in a secure micro-virtual machine enforced by the CPU, providing a broader level of protection with fewer opportunities for security gaps. Unlike other solutions that often 'fail silently,' Bromium's approach ensures a higher level of security. The initial deployment of Bromium in early 2015 included 2,000 endpoints and was described as simple and straightforward. Mosaic users appreciated the extra protection without any impact on productivity. The security team also used Bromium as an investigation and analysis tool, allowing them to interact with potentially suspicious code directly from the desktop.

Greenhouse Intelligent Monitoring and Control Solution
Farming Orchids is the most successful form of precision farming in Taiwan, and also the most exported flower. Orchids need a specific temperature and humidity conditions to grow and bloom, and its flowering time may not be in line with market demands, so the price collapses when there is overproduction. Therefore, some farmers began to import automated greenhouse control systems for breeding and forcing, which not only improves quality, but also effectively controls the production period and yield to ensure revenue. In 2012, an orchid farmer built a Forcing Greenhouse of about 200 pings (approximately 661 Square Meters) in Tainan, Taiwan. The system integrator adopted Advantech’s APAX-5000 series programmable automation controllers to build the control platform, coupled with Advantech WebAccess HMI/SCADA software, to achieve cloud monitoring. The staff of the orchid field can monitor important data anytime via smart phone, iPad, and other handheld devices, and control the growth and flowering conditions. System requirements: In the past, most environmental control systems of orchid greenhouses in Taiwan used PLCs (Programmable Logic Controller) with poorscalability and control, and could not be connected to the Internet formonitoring from the cloud. For advanced database analysis and networking capability, the PC platform must be adopted. Therefore, PAC Systems (Programmable Automation Controller) with both PLC programming capabilities andPC functions is a better choice.The environmental control of the Orchid greenhouse switches on and off devices like fan, shade net, cooling/heat pump, liquid flow control, water-cooling wall etc. It is controlled by a control panel of electric controllers, and is driven by a motor, to adjust the greenhouse temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions to the set parameters.
