Trend Micro Incorporated, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, is now providing a comprehensive suite of cybersecurity solutions to Bandhan Bank across its endpoints, network, and data centre. Consisting of 7,000 Trend Micro Apex One endpoint security solutions, two Trend Micro Deep Discovery Inspector solutions, and Trend Micro Deep Discovery Analyzer, the deployment helps secure Bandhan Bank against targeted attacks, unknown malware, ransomware, and zero-day threats across all IT touch points.
As a major bank with a pan-India presence, Bandhan Bank required a strong security strategy and outfit for its endpoints, networks, and servers. Prior to deploying Trend Micro solutions, it faced a myriad of challenges securing its complex IT environment. Firstly, its previous security solution was not able to handle the frequent malware attacks targeting its endpoints. Secondly, its help desk was overburdened with security requests. Last but not least, its security team lacked visibility across the organization’s IT assets, so there was no way to determine whether any of its systems were compromised by cyber attacks.
As a result of the deployment of Trend Micro’s solutions, Bandhan Bank gained a 90 to 95 percent increase in system uptime. Business operations now continue apace without interruption and the users are happy with the minimal impact on their devices and networks. In addition, through the Trend Micro Control Manager, the bank’s IT team has now achieved centralized visibility, investigative capabilities, and a holistic view of the endpoints and networks across the organization. Shared threat intelligence and delivery of real-time security updates contribute to rapid detection and response to threats, ultimately reducing the call volume to the banks help desk.
“Bandhan Bank required a robust security solution that could proactively defend against the constant changes in the threat environment. Trend Micro’s solutions fit the bill and provide the highest level of security for our endpoints, networks, and servers without compromising operational performance,” said Dibakar Ghosh, Senior Vice President, Bandhan Bank.
Nilesh Jain, Vice President, Southeast Asia and India, Trend Micro said, “With the evolving threat landscape, banks across India and the region find themselves up against new and persistent attacks they’ve never dealt with before. By adopting multiple security solutions from us, Bandhan Bank is able to achieve what we call ‘connected threat defence’, an all-rounded security strategy providing unified visibility, management, control, enforcement, policy, and analysis for the disparate security sensors and control points throughout its IT infrastructure.”
