About The Customer
FS is a leading provider of value-added services to telecommunication operators and retailers in Brazil and Latin America, with over 28 million clients. The company offers white label and private label solutions involving digital security, personal cloud, insurance, technical support, education, and entertainment. In the B2C market, it operates under the brand Hero, which gathers digital security solutions to meet the demand of the retail sector and digital app stores. Headquartered in São Paulo with a presence in more than ten Brazilian States, the company also has commercial offices in Chile and Argentina. FS is ranked as one of the best companies to work for in Brazil (GPTW) for the second year running.
The Challenge
FS moved its data center off-premise to the cloud, so there was an opportunity to strategically build the security infrastructure up front to manage more than 300 machines on AWS. Each of the servers has its own SSH key and a local user for development. Multiple people need to connect to the servers all the time. Managing the security of these privileged accounts was a complex and complicated endeavor. Also, the company wanted to have a system in place to track all changes to ensure each was approved for deployment and documented for long term analysis and audit. Having proactive security measures in place to mitigate risks associated with privileged accounts was not only important to the IT team supporting a growing business, but it was also a priority for the CEO who understands the business benefits of protecting digital assets.
The Solution
FS uses the CyberArk Core Privileged Account Security Solution to manage access to its servers on AWS as well as other services and database connections. Depending upon the use case, some applications use SSH Keys and others use passwords. The CyberArk solution includes multiple built-in security layers to provide the strongest level of protection for privileged account information. This creates a detailed audit trail and enables security and audit teams to easily report on who accessed what, when, and why. FS is also able to more efficiently and effectively secure, manage, monitor, and control access to SSH keys in accordance with its security policies. The CyberArk solution can be used to prevent unauthorized access to privileged accounts in Unix/Linux environments and reduce the risk of a data breach.

Case Study
Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.

Digital Retail Security Solutions
Sennco wanted to help its retail customers increase sales and profits by developing an innovative alarm system as opposed to conventional connected alarms that are permanently tethered to display products. These traditional security systems were cumbersome and intrusive to the customer shopping experience. Additionally, they provided no useful data or analytics.

Vodafone Hosted On AWS
Vodafone found that traffic for the applications peak during the four-month period when the international cricket season is at its height in Australia. During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
