About The Customer
Paschoalotto Financial Services is a leading supplier of call-center and tele-billing services to the Brazilian financial industry. Their expertise in the field of credit recovery and personnel management makes them a key piece in the financial industry value chain. Paschoalotto has become a key partner to many financial services companies by providing excellent service to the end customer, as well as by offering new services and expanding the capacity of existing services quickly to meet growing demand. The company operates two data centers serving seven different locations and also maintains a private cloud infrastructure.
The Challenge
Paschoalotto, a leading call center for the financial industry in Brazil, faced several challenges with its existing security infrastructure. The company needed to meet the highest level of security as required by customers and government privacy laws, deliver a flexible security architecture that could scale instantly in an environment of hyper-growth, and integrate the company’s multiple sites and private cloud under a single unified management system. The company's previous solution consisted of multiple vendors, which had led to occasional problems. The new solution needed to support two data centers serving seven different locations, as well as protect the company’s private cloud, all under the umbrella of a single, integrated management system. The security team required a single-vendor solution with a wide array of integrated capabilities, including demonstrated interoperability with their VMware-based private cloud infrastructure.
The Solution
Paschoalotto selected Check Point as their security solution after a rigorous Proof of Concept (POC) with several leading security companies. Check Point's 16K Firewalls, Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator, CloudGuard IaaS, and R80 Security Management provided a single solution that stood far above the competition. The Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator allowed Paschoalotto to deliver near-instantaneous flexibility and scalability across their network’s multiple nodes. Check Point 16000 Next Generation Firewalls provided the foundation of the company’s security architecture, establishing a ring of security that protected both the company’s and its clients’ data from virtually any attack. The Check Point R80 Unified Security Management system became the final critical piece the team needed to meet the security challenges it faced, providing superior access control and powerful reporting options.

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.
