About The Customer
CARE Ratings is one of the leading credit rating agencies in India. It has emerged as the leading agency in many risk rating segments, including manufacturing, infrastructure, and the financial sector, among others. The organization has an established track record of rating companies over almost three decades and has had a pivotal role in developing bank debt and capital market instruments, including CPs, corporate bonds and debentures, and structured credit. Over the past two years, CARE Ratings has upgraded its Information Security Management System (ISMS) framework to support online rating operations. As a result of these efforts, the company has enabled its entire business operations to run smoothly during the COVID19 epidemic, with all its employees working from home.
The Challenge
CARE Ratings, one of the leading credit rating agencies in India, faced a challenge when its entire workforce shifted to remote work due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company had little visibility into how employees were accessing cloud apps and browsing the internet from home. This lack of visibility raised concerns about network security and data loss. The IT team needed to reduce the risk of malware infection from unmanaged cloud apps and websites and prevent data movement into unmanaged apps. They also needed to prevent data downloads to personal devices from risky Microsoft 365 SaaS apps. Additionally, CARE Ratings wanted to improve the user experience when employees accessed key business applications on the private corporate network.
The Solution
CARE Ratings chose the Netskope Security Cloud platform after evaluating multiple vendors. The platform offered advanced data loss prevention (DLP), potential for cost savings, and the consolidation of web and inline cloud access security broker (CASB), DLP, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) onto a unified platform. Netskope Professional Services worked with a leading Netskope partner to deploy the Netskope CASB and Next Generation Secure Web Gateway (NG SWG). The Netskope client was installed on all end user systems, with connectors in the corporate data centers providing secure access to cloud applications through Netskope Private Access (NPA). An integral part of the Netskope Security Cloud, NPA is a ZTNA solution for hybrid IT environments.

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Safety First with Folksam
The competitiveness of the car insurance market is driving UBI growth as a means for insurance companies to differentiate their customer propositions as well as improving operational efficiency. An insurance model - usage-based insurance ("UBI") - offers possibilities for insurers to do more efficient market segmentation and accurate risk assessment and pricing. Insurers require an IoT solution for the purpose of data collection and performance analysis
Case Study
Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Transforming insurance pricing while improving driver safety
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the car insurance industry on a scale not seen since the introduction of the car itself. For decades, premiums have been calculated using proxy-based risk assessment models and historical data. Today, a growing number of innovative companies such as Quebec-based Industrielle Alliance are moving to usage-based insurance (UBI) models, driven by the advancement of telematics technologies and smart tracking devices.

Enhancing Security and Compliance in Remitly's Global Money Transfer Service with Fastly
Remitly, an online remittance service, was faced with the challenge of securing its proprietary global transfer network. The company needed a security solution that could meet PCI requirements and protect customers' sensitive transactions through its mobile application. The solution had to be capable of defending against new and emerging attack types without impacting performance. Remitly also had to deal with irregular traffic patterns, such as a sudden spike in account transfers from a small network segment on the Pacific coastline of South America. The company needed to determine in real time whether such traffic indicated an attack or valid requests. A traditional web application firewall (WAF) would not be able to distinguish this traffic, potentially leading to customer frustration if the IP was blacklisted.
