About The Customer
The customer is a well-established global leader in animal nutrition and aquafeed. The company employs more than 10,000 people in over 30 countries. The company is dedicated to translating world-class research into practical, innovative solutions, supporting customers in 90 countries. The company is acutely aware of the challenges in food production supply and dedicates a portion of its operational profit to research and innovation for sustainable solutions that move the industry forward, in industrialized countries as well as the developing world.
The Challenge
The global leader in animal nutrition and aquafeed was facing challenges with slow internet speeds in some of its locations, which was impacting productivity and research efforts. The company was also growing through the acquisition of several smaller companies, which complicated security matters as new systems were brought into their network that may not always have strong cybersecurity in place. The company was a target for C-level spoofing and phishing attempts targeting revenue exfiltration. The company needed to reduce the potential for risky user web browsing or the opening of bogus or malware-riddled emails.
The Solution
The company chose the Forcepoint Cloud Web and Email Security solution to deliver a powerful first line of defense to prevent potential threats without slowing down the business. The solution was deployed with the help of on-site Forcepoint engineers. The company now has effective security with coordinated defense controls in the cloud, freeing the enterprise to focus on value creation in strategic areas. The solution better protects users as they interact with web and email, including cloud environments like Office 365. The cloud-based deployment of the Forcepoint solution allows for the extension of security to new subsidiaries, and the direct connect endpoint enables a fast, seamless, secure internet user experience regardless of location.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
