IT Security in the heavy equipment and construction industries.
Tat Hong Holdings is one of the biggest companies in the Asia/Pacific region supplying cranes and heavy equipment to many industries. Over the past three decades, they have expanded operations to Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan, Papua New Guinea and Australia, ensuring 'local' service for their customers.
One of the subsidiaries of Tat Hong, located in Australia is BT Equipment. BT Equipment is one of Australia's largest independent heavy equipment sales & service companies. Servicing the earthmoving, construction, road-making, compaction, drilling, forestry, mining, access and lifting equipment industries throughout Australia. With offices in Brisbane, Darwin, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, BT Equipment ensures that its products and services are available to its users at all times on a high speed network to ensure the highest level of customer service.
Our customers expect to have up-to-date information available, with immediate fault free access. Therefore, it is critical that our network is reliable, available 100% of the time and free from non-business related activities, such as unauthorised downloading of internet content. We are also aware of the distractions and legal implications that undesirable use of the Internet can introduce." said BT Equipment's IT Manager, Andrew Leo.
To ensure maximum availability of its network, BT Equipment decided to investigate solutions that ensured network reliability, maximising bandwidth utilisation for business purposes at an economical cost.
BT Equipment investigated a number of solutions and after lengthy evaluation and testing concluded that ContentKeeper was the best. Andrew said " I believe that ContentKeeper will be the best solution for this application, providing ease-of-use with minimal maintenance. The installation was straight forward, and best of all doesn't require another Windows box with licenses. A key feature of the product is the frequent centralised automatic updates, which contains a list of undesirable URLs, and many types of malicious code. It will allow me to focus on managing the network and keeping my users happy. The local support direct from ContentKeeper is re-assuring as I don't have to wait for time zone differences, as from remote vendors in the USA."
To safely address these issues BT Equipment have installed the ContentKeeper Internet Access control solution from ContentKeeper Technologies, based in Canberra ACT, Australia. ContentKeeper is a world class solution providing companies to Monitor, Manage, Control and Secure their IT networks. ContentKeeper had already demonstrated significant savings, for some of the largest Asia/Paific commercial and government organizations, including the Australian Broadcasting Authority, the keeper of Australian censorship laws which apply to this area.
Global users include University of Bangkok, Patricks Corporation, Fosters and Hawker Pacific Aerospace.
