关于客户
Knight Frank is one of the world's largest and most widely-recognised privately-owned estate agency and property consultancy firms. Headquartered in London, Knight Frank has 411 offices in 59 countries, offering a service which is locally expert and globally connected. Its research into residential and commercial property has made Knight Frank a renowned source for those seeking to invest in the market. As a global business, Knight Frank's clientele are in all corners of the world. For this reason, the company has over fifty public-facing websites - one for each of the countries it operates in, which all receive traffic from across the globe.
挑战
Knight Frank, a global real estate agency, was facing challenges with its website performance. Clients in some parts of the world, notably Australia and the UAE, were experiencing slower loading times when accessing their respective websites. This was undermining Knight Frank's brand, which is built upon delivering the highest quality standards. The company also faced issues with its website in Asia, particularly in China, where it was unable to deliver a fast and reliable service to users. This was making it difficult for Knight Frank to penetrate the Chinese market. The company identified that the physical distance that data had to travel was the cause of latency. In addition to this, Knight Frank was also faced with the risk of being hacked and the challenge of mitigating DDoS attacks.
解决方案
Knight Frank started to look for a content delivery network (CDN) partner that could deliver fast and reliable connectivity to its users around the world. CDNetworks provided its China CDN service (China Acceleration), along with its CDN technology for dynamic content (Dynamic Web Acceleration) to minimise latency. With support for non-cacheable content, CDNetworks accelerated the dynamic content on each of the websites such as the search functions in addition to the static content, including high resolution images of advertised properties. This meant that Knight Frank's busy websites always provided the highest quality user experience to its clients, not only loading fast and reliably, but also offering a pleasant and speedy interactive experience when looking for the right kind of property. CDNetworks also implemented its WAF and DDoS protection solutions to mitigate any malicious attacks.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

Retail Uses RFID to Enable Cold Chain Monitoring
Like most grocery retailers, Hy-Vee is faced with the challenge of providing the highest quality products to its shoppers. Shoppers want the longest possible shelf life from perishable products and expect a consistent product experience each time they shop. Controlling the quality of products sold leads to shopper loyalty, which is of paramount importance to the success of Hy-Vee. Before products arrive in stores, Hy-Vee's distribution centers (DCs) handle items including dairy products, fresh meats, seafood, deli items, produce and frozen goods, all of which have different temperature needs and sensitivities. During transit from suppliers to DCs, Hy-Vee has limited visibility and temperature management abilities due to large amount of supplier managed transportation. For instance, during a week-long transit, a supplier's carrier equipment may malfunction, causing an item to thaw and then refreeze once repairs are made. Hy-Vee sought help from TempTRIP, an RFID solution provider that focuses on shipping, storage, receiving, and temperature control. TempTRIP's EPC RFID tags use Impinj chips to monitor and report temperature readings throughout the shipping and receiving process. The tags can also be re-configured and re-used, a unique feature within the current market of temperature monitoring devices.

Securing the Connected Car Ecosystem
In-vehicle communications and entertainment system hosts high-value or sensitive applications. API libraries facilitate communication and sharing of vehicle data. These API libraries are vulnerable to reverse engineering and tampering attacks and may even result in loss of passenger safety. Attackers can inject malware that may be able to migrate to other in-car networks such as the controller-area-network (CAN) bus which links to the vehicle’s critical systems. Software provided for dealers to interface with cars through the OBD2 port is vulnerable to reverse engineering and tampering attacks. Hackers may be able to abuse these tools to inject malicious code into the ECUs and CAN bus. Attackers can lift the cryptographic keys used, and use that to build their own rogue apps/software. Their cloned version of the original app/software may have altered functionality, and may intend to gain access to other in-car networks.
