Case Study: CCS Skate secures power plants and thwarts zero-day attacks with BeyondTrust PowerBroker Endpoint Protection

CCS and BeyondTrust Team up to Secure Power Plants

Comprehensive Computer Solutions (CCS), a Virginia-based vendor of industrial computing systems for the energy sector, needed a low-cost, flexible host-based intrusion prevention solution they could bundle with HMI/SCADA deployments. The company required real-time threat protection that would not disrupt specialized control software, simple licensing and OEM-friendly packaging, plus a customizable front end for plant operators and integrators.

CCS chose BeyondTrust’s PowerBroker Endpoint Protection Platform, packaging its HIPS capabilities with CCS systems to provide dynamic, real-time threat collection, zero-day attack blocking, device discovery, help-desk integration and executive reporting. The integrated solution proved cost-effective for OEM bundling, has been deployed in North America and Spain, and—since its 2004 launch—has reportedly stopped 100% of remote intrusion attempts while enabling prioritized patching and easier remediation.
