About The Customer
Banregio Grupo Financiero S.A.B. de C.V, trading as Banregio, is one of Mexico’s leading regional banks, founded in 1994. Today it has over 3,000 employees working at 133 branches across Mexico. As well as consumer banking, it specializes in services for small and medium-sized enterprises. Banregio has been listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange since 2011. The bank is critical to regional enterprise in Mexico and holds many citizens’ inherited family wealth.
The Challenge
Banregio, a leading regional bank in Mexico, was facing a significant challenge in protecting its assets and those of its customers from increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. The bank's rapid growth in the financial sector had attracted the attention of cybercriminals, leading to a surge in cyberattacks. The bank's in-house security team was struggling to deal with these advanced attacks. Banregio needed to strengthen its network security with a solution that could identify and block new and advanced threats. The bank also sought to centralize the security management of the entire threat landscape, including PCs and mobile devices, software, and data on the cloud. This would simplify administration and proactively prevent cyberattacks.
The Solution
Banregio implemented a range of security solutions, with the central piece being Check Point SandBlast Network. This solution protects the Banregio data center network, where all customer data is held, and all financial transactions are processed. SandBlast's advanced network threat prevention protects against advanced and zero-day cyber threats, preventing attacks, minimizing risks, and offering rapid response. Its threat extraction feature ensures files are automatically cleaned and potentially malicious content removed before they enter the network. Additionally, Banregio uses Check Point support to identify technical and operational best practices and to upskill the in-house security team. Security management is provided through Check Point R80.10, giving the bank's IT team a view of the entire security landscape through a single management console. This allows multiple administrators to view and prevent potential cyberattacks in real-time, update policies, and turn on automated responses in response to specific threats.

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.”

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.
