The Challenge
In a world of increasingly complex security challenges, Flashpoint uses threat data and intelligence to help organizations quickly identify cyber threats and protect their people, assets, and places. Key to Flashpoint’s success is enabling its global teams to work efficiently together. As a remote-first company in a highly sensitive industry, Flashpoint needed to find a way to make this cross-border collaboration as smooth as possible, while maintaining robust security.
The Solution
Flashpoint chose Google Workspace to enable its employees to stay connected and collaborate in real time to get work done, wherever they are. With Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets, Flashpoint’s remote teams can work on the same documents, such as sales presentations and marketing materials, in real time. Google Meet, meanwhile, is Flashpoint’s go-to meeting tool, bringing teams in different regions closer together and enabling them to stay connected through secure video calls. By reducing friction between teams and enabling smooth, efficient collaboration, Flashpoint employees can focus on what matters, delivering the best threat data and intelligence. Now, with Gemini for Google Workspace, Flashpoint can work even more efficiently by incorporating generative AI into a wide range of workflows to increase productivity. Gemini’s Help me write feature in Docs and Gmail allows employees to create content faster, enabling them to spend more time focused on other tasks. For those with English as a second language, Gemini is enabling them to write with confidence and communicate more effectively. Flashpoint’s marketing team uses Gemini to research topics more quickly, brainstorm ideas for campaigns, and experiment with different copy variants. Developers use Gemini to help them write Python scripts and create documentation, allowing them to dedicate more time to product innovation. With Gemini’s robust security and privacy commitments protecting customer data, Flashpoint can focus on developing even stronger cyber threat intelligence services for its customers.

SET Creative Ditches Google Vault for Datto Backupify
When Kienholz first started at SET, the staff was using Microsoft Outlook for email with no form of data backup. It became apparent that something needed to change as the staff was often burdened with trying to recover emails from departed employees. Kienholz transitioned the team to Google’s Gmail and implemented Google Vault for backup purposes. While SET employees quickly adjusted to Gmail, which many use for personal email, the same could not be said for Google Vault. “Unlike most Google products, Vault was not user friendly at all. It’s very hard to search for items. We never really figured out how to do a restore either,” explained Kienholz. Due to SET’s work with high-profile brands, projects often go through many rounds of revisions right down to the eleventh hour. This means that every bit of information - especially data living in project managers’ emails - is crucial to delivering clients a polished design at deadline.

Sawback IT and Datto Save Client From a Costly Mistake
Ballistic Echo, a software development house, faced a critical challenge when human error led to the deletion of thousands of lines of unique code. This incident occurred before the code was pushed to source control, resulting in significant loss of time, revenue, and work. The previous file-level backup solution they used was slow and inefficient, making it nearly impossible to manually recreate the lost work. The need for a more reliable and efficient business continuity solution became evident to avoid such disasters in the future.

Zapier Aggregates Multiple Analytics in a Single Dashboard with the New Relic Platform
Zapier, a company that enables non-technical users to push data between hundreds of web applications, was facing a challenge in automating and provisioning servers for optimal performance. The company's environment consisted of 50 Linux servers on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a Django application split across several servers, and a backend consisting of a dynamic number of celery task workers fed by messages published to a RabbitMQ cluster. They also maintained a number of internal web services on nginx in front of Gunicorn and Node.js processes. Redis handled simple key and value stores, with logging handled by Graylog2 and ElasticSearch. However, they realized that no level of automation would be sufficient without an effective monitoring solution in place. They needed a tool that could provide immediate alerts when something was breaking and could be easily implemented into their environment.
