About The Customer
Radius Payment Solutions is a global business-to-business services company that provides a range of services including fuel cards, electric vehicle charge points, vehicle tracking, telecoms and insurance. The company consistently ranks in the top quartile of the Sunday Times Top Track 100 list of Britain’s most successful privately owned companies, with a turnover of over £2.5 billion. Radius operates worldwide and has achieved rapid expansion through strategic acquisitions and persistent investment in new technology. As an ISO27001 accredited and Cyber Essentials Plus certified business, Radius places a high priority on the security of its customers' information, much of which is financial and therefore sensitive.
The Challenge
Radius Payment Solutions is a global business-to-business services company providing fuel cards, electric vehicle charge points, vehicle tracking, telecoms and insurance. The company operates worldwide and has a turnover of over £2.5 billion. As an ISO27001 accredited and Cyber Essentials Plus certified business, the highest levels of security are vital to protect its customers’ information – as much of it is financial and therefore sensitive. With content being shared across the globe, it’s essential that the company’s IT teams have visibility and control over where data is stored and what information leaves the business. Radius was looking for a platform that would provide the protection and control they needed and with additional functionality. However, more importantly, they were looking for a solution that met both the technical requirements of the business and was provided by a partner with whom Radius had confidence in building a long-term strategic relationship.
The Solution
Radius deployed Censornet Web Security and CASB, which are fully integrated together in the Censornet Platform, across its 15 global locations to help mitigate data security challenges and more, by seamlessly protecting users as they move between websites and applications. The visibility and granular controls that Censornet offers, particularly around Office 365, have proved invaluable in ensuring only the right data ever leaves the business. The Censornet platform enables the ability to manage and maintain the environment with a significantly reduced administrative overhead and a far more granular approach to reporting on web traffic utilisation across the business. Additionally, the ability to analyse and categorise previously unseen URLs automatically as they arise enables Radius to stay ahead of new threats, helping the IT team protect the business through a product that utilises machine learning rather than through manual intervention, and improve awareness of new security risks across the company with block/warn pages.

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.
