The Challenge
Proxeem, a company providing hosting, IT project management, and web development services, faced the challenge of securing websites, web applications, and APIs across a diverse customer base. The company's customers span a wide range of industries, each with different web applications and API connections into different platforms. Proxeem needed to deliver industry-leading protection affordably to its customers while minimizing ongoing solution management. The challenge was to implement reliable security across its customer base without extensive customization, specialized expertise, or extra support staff.
The Solution
Proxeem chose Check Point Cloud Guard AppSec as its solution. This choice was made after testing various cloud offerings from Akamai, Check Point, Fortinet, and Imperva. CloudGuard AppSec fit perfectly with Proxeem's cloud-first approach to security. It allowed customers to benefit from industry-leading protection without having to purchase, install, modify, or manage infrastructure. The solution uses a powerful, contextual AI engine that learns how each application is typically used. It profiles users and application content to develop scores for each request. New, incoming requests are analyzed to assess risk according to user profiles, behavioral patterns, and typical use parameters. This approach maintains the highest standard of application security while eliminating false positives. With CloudGuard AppSec, Proxeem can stop cyber criminals from attacking customers' APIs to expose, take over, or exfiltrate sensitive data.

Greenhouse Intelligent Monitoring and Control Solution
Farming Orchids is the most successful form of precision farming in Taiwan, and also the most exported flower. Orchids need a specific temperature and humidity conditions to grow and bloom, and its flowering time may not be in line with market demands, so the price collapses when there is overproduction. Therefore, some farmers began to import automated greenhouse control systems for breeding and forcing, which not only improves quality, but also effectively controls the production period and yield to ensure revenue. In 2012, an orchid farmer built a Forcing Greenhouse of about 200 pings (approximately 661 Square Meters) in Tainan, Taiwan. The system integrator adopted Advantech’s APAX-5000 series programmable automation controllers to build the control platform, coupled with Advantech WebAccess HMI/SCADA software, to achieve cloud monitoring. The staff of the orchid field can monitor important data anytime via smart phone, iPad, and other handheld devices, and control the growth and flowering conditions. System requirements: In the past, most environmental control systems of orchid greenhouses in Taiwan used PLCs (Programmable Logic Controller) with poorscalability and control, and could not be connected to the Internet formonitoring from the cloud. For advanced database analysis and networking capability, the PC platform must be adopted. Therefore, PAC Systems (Programmable Automation Controller) with both PLC programming capabilities andPC functions is a better choice.The environmental control of the Orchid greenhouse switches on and off devices like fan, shade net, cooling/heat pump, liquid flow control, water-cooling wall etc. It is controlled by a control panel of electric controllers, and is driven by a motor, to adjust the greenhouse temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions to the set parameters.

Precision beekeeping with wireless temperature monitoring
Honeybees are insects of large economic value and provide a vital service to agriculture by pollinating a variety of crops. In addition, bees provide us with valuable products such as honey, beeswax, propolis, bee venom, etc. Monitoring of honeybee colony health, population, productivity, and environmental conditions affecting the colony health have always been exceedingly difficult tasks in apiculture. Research has shown that even small deviations (by more than 2°C) from the optimal temperatures have a significant influence on the development of the brood and the health of adult bees.
