Roper Technologies operates market leading businesses that design and develop vertical software and technology-enabled products to serve customers in a variety of niche markets. Roper wanted to enhance and unify visibility into the digital environments across the portfolio of companies it had acquired over the years. To take a more proactive approach against ransomware and modernize its cybersecurity efforts, Roper implemented CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security and CrowdStrike Falcon Complete managed detection and response (MDR) across its subsidiaries. This allows teams to monitor environments around the clock in real time, gain comprehensive visibility into their infrastructures, and centralize security through a single pane of glass. Roper is now better able to stop malicious activity before it affects its businesses, identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, and maximize the efficiency of its cybersecurity teams.

Penn State University built a learning analytics tool using data from its learning management system (LMS), Canvas—developed by AWS Partner Instructure—to provide real-time alerts about student engagement in a course. The tool, named Course Insights, uses Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) to process nearly 2 TB of raw learning activity data every day. The data is made available through Course Insights as a learning tools interoperability (LTI) feature embedded directly in Canvas. It helps instructors track student engagement, provide differentiated student care, and understand how they might improve course delivery and learning outcomes.
