PROBLEM<\/strong>: SOLUTION<\/strong>: Fumigation of a large food production site takes careful planning and coordination to guarantee safety and prevent contamination. Fumigations are scheduled during employee holidays to prevent production interruption.<\/p>\n At the start of one such fumigation the company discovered that the HVAC computer was not correctly controlling the plant\u2019s ventilation system. The computer had been compromised by the installation of a video game that brought in a virus. The PC had to be rebuilt, and by the time it was ready the window of opportunity had passed and the fumigation had to be cancelled.<\/p>\n Rescheduling the fumigation resulted in an unplanned four day shut down – workers who had to use vacation or miss four days of pay were not amused.<\/p>\n ThinManager Ready thin clients prevent unauthorized users from loading software and can even limit users to just a few programs saving a major security headache.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Night-shift worker installed an application with a virus on a PC.
\n\u2022 The infected PC controlled the HVAC system and could not close vents for fumigation.
\n\u2022 The plant had to stop production for 4 days to allow re-scheduling of the required treatment.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Thin clients prevent access to operating system. <\/p>\n
