E.R. Jahna Industries Improves Security Posture and IT Efficiency with Thrive’s Managed Services
E.R. Jahna Industries, a Florida-based sand mining company, needed to enhance its IT infrastructure and cybersecurity. With limited internal resources, it turned to
Thrive for a comprehensive IT and cybersecurity solution. Thrive delivered a multi-layered cybersecurity framework, migrated critical servers to its private Cloud, and implemented detection and response systems. This partnership allowed E.R. Jahna Industries to safeguard its operations, reduce risks, and free up internal resources.
The Challenge
E.R. Jahna Industries, a leader in sand mining, plays a crucial role in various industries across Florida and Southeast Georgia markets, including construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure. However, their Director of IT quickly realized they were falling behind in terms of security and technology. With a small internal team, E.R. Jahna Industries needed a trusted partner to elevate IT operations and protect assets. That’s where Thrive came in.
Why Thrive Was Chosen
After assessing their security posture and IT environment, E.R. Jahna Industries’ Director of IT, Thomas Single, knew that addressing cybersecurity was a priority. Thrive, with its reputation and existing relationship, was the ideal partner. But it wasn’t just about the technical capabilities but about trust and partnership.
Thrive was chosen not just because of the technology or cost. It was more about the relationship. I consider them partners, and I knew they could help us get where we needed to be,” Single explained.
Strategic Deployment of Advanced Security Measures
Thrive implemented a comprehensive solution that began with building an Active Directory domain, migrating servers to Thrive’s private Cloud, and enhancing detection and response systems. Their approach included multiple layers of security, addressing infrastructure weaknesses, and protecting E.R Jahna Industries’ operations from potential threats.
“We didn’t have an Active Directory domain in place, and everyone had too much access. Thrive stood up the domain, migrated all our PCs, and helped us every step of the way,” said Single. “They were with us through the entire process, ensuring we had the right tools and systems in place.”
Additionally, Thrive took over the management of cybersecurity training for E.R. Jahna Industries employees, relieving internal resources and providing better coverage with ongoing threat monitoring.
Thrive’s Impact
Since partnering with Thrive, E.R. Jahna Industries has significantly improved its IT security and operations. Enhanced detection systems quickly neutralize potential threats, giving the team a sense of calm and confidence. The migration of critical infrastructure to Thrive’s private Cloud has freed up internal resources, allowing the company to focus on core business activities.
“Since partnering with Thrive, we’ve not only enhanced our security posture, but we’ve also streamlined our IT operations. They’ve helped us prevent issues before they become real problems, which has had a measurable impact on the stability and efficiency of our business.”
“Thrive’s team is at the top of their game. The handoff between the project and support teams was seamless, and every resource we worked with was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.” When I first joined the company and did the assessment, I did not sleep at night, thinking we would have a problem, and I was just waiting for that ticking time bomb. Since we put all the tools in place and engaged with Thrive, I sleep at night. I sleep very well at night.” ~ Thomas Single, IT Director, E.R. Jahna Industries
