USER PROTECTION

Better, More Complete Protection for Your Users

Get smarter security that goes where your users go

Your users are accessing corporate resources in the office, at home, on the road, or anywhere in between. And they are not always working on a corporate network, device, or application. So it’s increasingly challenging to protect them no matter what they are doing or how they are doing it. To further complicate matters, you’re moving to the cloud. But you’re not all there. And you don’t want to be locked into a single approach. At the same time, you want to ensure centralized visibility across all layers of security.

Traditional security solutions just aren’t keeping up with your users. Unfortunately, threats ARE. You need more than constant vigilance to hit threats head on. You need a mesh of interconnected security that consolidates your view across all threat vectors. And you need a forward-thinking security vendor that can predict developments before they strike. It’s time to think seriously about complete user protection.

Gulftainer IT Safe Guarded with Trend Micro

Enterprise Suite

Deep Security and Enterprise Security Suite increase visibility and defend against

malware to secure VMware and mobile users

Overview

UAE based company Gulftainer is the largest privately owned, terminal operator in the Middle East. Its international presence spans over three continents including the Middle East and the Americas. For more than 38 years, Gulftainer has been delivering world-class performance to its customers, continually striving for a faster turnaround of cargo, trade and fortunes for promising new economies. To achieve its goal of sustainable growth Gulftainer continues to enhance its performance as one of the most productive port operators in the world, ensuring that its customer service outperforms competitors in the markets in which it operates. In 2013, Gulftainer accomplished a significant throughput of 6 million TEUs (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit) at its terminals. This achievement reinforces Gulftainer’s position as one of the leading Private Companies in the region for Port operations and management.

Challenges

Security has always been a top priority for Gulftainer and it is important to standardize and centralize IT security solutions. Gulftainer’s IT department found the answer with Enterprise security solutions. Following a detailed review of the process, Trend Micro’s™ _{Enterprise Security solutions were selected to}

provide a data center security solution.

Ensuring that updated patches were validated and applied to servers was essential to guaranteeing the company’s security status. “It was a time-consuming exercise to apply patches for our virtual and physical servers, which had no automated patching,” said Jurageswaran Shetty, IT Security Manager.

Why Trend Micro

After evaluating several leading security solutions, Gulftainer found that the Trend Micro™ _Enterprise

Security Suite (ESS) solution provided the functionality it needed, including integrated data loss prevention (DLP), which secures mobile and USB devices, as well as email.

In addition, the Trend Micro enterprise solution offered a plug-in for the company’s BlackBerry Enterprise Servers & MDM solution which protects Gulftainer’s employees’ mobile devices.

“When we deployed the Trend Micro solution, the software was capable of identifying thousands of threats and malwares, thereby giving us the comfort that Trend Micro could provide the advanced security we needed to keep our system secure and available to our end users,” said Vinay Sharma, Group IT Manager.

Solutions

Gulftainer deployed the Trend Micro Enterprise Security Suite and Trend Micro™ OfficeScan™ endpoint protection to the physical desktops and laptops across the UAE and Iraq offices, delivering real-time protection against malware threats. OfficeScan also enhances ESS’s endpoint protection with cloud-based global threat intelligence and integrated DLP.

To secure its server environment, Gulftainer installed Trend Micro™ _{Deep Security on both virtual}

and physical servers. Deep Security is a comprehensive security platform designed to protect data centers and cloud workloads from network breaches and business disruptions. Tightly integrated modules include anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, intrusion prevention, integrity monitoring, and log inspection.

Solutions

The Deep Security agentless security platform uses resources more efficiently, supports higher virtual machine densities and is easier to manage than traditional anti-malware solutions. The platform saves the time and effort of Gulftainer’s IT staff from continually configuring, updating, and patching client and server agents. The solution’s web reputation, integrity monitoring, and bidirectional firewall capabilities add layers of defense to keep Gulftainer’s network available 24/7. By consolidating all security responsibilities onto one comprehensive platform, Deep Security simplifies management and expands visibility across the network. “The Trend Micro™ _{Control Manager}™

console makes it easy to see what’s happening in our production environment and alerts us if any issue requires attention,” said Shetty. “The added capability allows us to take immediate action to prevent business disruptions and reduces the time we spend on incident management. In addition, the reporting process provides additional insight into the effectiveness of our security efforts.”

Results

“With Trend Micro OfficeScan protecting our endpoints and Deep Security protecting our server environment, Gulftainer is confident its network is guarded by the best available security solutions,” said Shetty.

Gulftainer is also pleased with the results produced by the OfficeScan and its mobile security

components of the Trend Micro Enterprise Security Suite. “From detecting and cleaning out thousands of malware threats in our environment, to preventing data loss and protecting our mobile devices, Trend Micro has really shouldered the security burden for us, which frees our IT team to focus on more important issues,” said Shetty.

What’s next?

“In the near future, we are looking at deploying the Trend Micro Encryption system to add yet another layer of security protection,” said Shetty. “And, once we complete our ISO 27001 certification, we will look at deploying the Trend Micro™ _{Deep Discovery system to mitigate targeted attacks.”}

Rush University Medical Center Creates Safer

Environment with End-to-End Protection for

Healthcare and Academic Environments

Complete User Protection Solution, Deep Security, and Deep Discovery

enable greater visibility to defend against sophisticated attacks

Overview

Rush University Medical Center (Rush) is a not-for-profit healthcare, education, and research enterprise with a 664-bed academic medical center that includes hospital facilities for adults and children. In addition to the University Medical Center, Rush also includes Rush University, Rush Oak Park Hospital, and Rush Health with a total of 8,000 employees. Rush offers residency and fellowship programs in medical and surgical specialties to more than 2,000 students.

With a large and experienced IT team, Rush manages three data centers across its campuses. The organization currently supports approximately 1,600 virtual desktops and 600 virtual servers, along with 10,000 physical desktops. The Rush IT team is tasked with supporting users on all devices, including smartphones and tablets. Rush operates proprietary wireless networks for its doctors, nurses, students, and support staff, while it also provides public Wi-Fi for patients and families. Rush was recently named one of Hospitals and Health Networks Most Wired organizations for 2014. “We cover the gamut of everything you would find in a modern academic medical center, including one of the most advanced electronic medical records systems,” said Jaime Parent, Associate CIO, Vice President IT Operations at Rush University Medical Center. In addition to being a premier medical facility in Illinois, Rush is also committed to the community it serves. Recently, Rush founded the EN-Abled Veteran Program, which trains and prepares transitioning military veterans in healthcare IT. As a result of the program, veterans from conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are learning skills that will help them succeed in the healthcare IT marketplace.

Challenges

Rush University Medical Center’s IT leadership knows the importance of providing protection to all levels and types of customers that are on site at the hospital and supporting facilities, such as doctors, nurses, staff, technicians, and patients. To provide that protection, they’re always looking for the very best in IT security. However, in 2011 Rush realized their former security vendor did not have the tools or the capabilities to defend against a new breed of advanced threats.

In one attack, Rush was hit hard by the Conficker virus, a computer worm that targets Microsoft Windows environments and creates botnets that can steal valuable network data. Their existing security could not identify and resolve the virus. This was a major concern for Rush, because their network holds information on patient, research, and other hospital related data. “Like any major medical facility, Rush operates 24/7/365, so we could not simply shut down the system and search for a solution,” said Parent. Another issue for Rush was dealing with unknown and zero-day attacks that were assaulting its network on a regular basis. “We were challenged in balancing a growing security architecture against emerging persistent threats,” said Alex Radenkovic, Information Security Engineer at Rush University Medical Center. “An attacker can deploy new attack techniques when capable defenses have not yet been deployed, leaving the attacker with the upper hand.”

Daily scanning presented another challenge for the medical facility. The scanning by its previous endpoint security provider was impacting performance of users across its network. Because scanning was scheduled for mid-day, the solution caused processing delays that reduced user productivity for all levels of users. As a result, some Rush employees would work on their own personal laptops, smartphones, and tablets to avoid the scan, leaving Rush with a mix of managed and unmanaged endpoints. “As a medical center, we have to make sure we have the monitoring and security to ensure compliance across all of our users’ many devices,” said Parent.

Challenges

As if zero-day attacks, scanning issues, and compliance problems weren’t enough, Rush was concerned that its current solution could not meet the demands of its modern data center. Rush was looking for a solution that would protect its virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and virtual servers, and provide virtual patching that shields potential vulnerabilities before attackers can take advantage of them. Finally, Rush IT was concerned with malware entering the system via unauthorized USB devices being brought onto campus. “Once we learned about the sophisticated nature of the new threat landscape, we knew we had to protect the entire hospital network,” said Parent. “And we had to handle the scanning issue that was impacting user performance.”

Why Trend?

After evaluating several leading security vendor solutions, Rush was most impressed with Trend Micro because of the quality and effectiveness of their solutions. The Rush IT leadership was also swayed by the level of engagement from the Trend Micro account team who took the time to understand the complexity of Rush’s IT challenges and tailor an end-to-end security solution for their unique environment.

“The Trend Micro team was great to work with. The camaraderie and level of discussion between the members of our organizations was the first step in our win-win relationship,” said Parent. “They provided excellent support, came on-site for strategy sessions, and really made a significant effort to understand our security requirements.”

While Trend Micro was working to tailor a solution, Rush experienced another malware attack that made it appear as though some of their files were disappearing. However, with Trend Micro’s help, this time Rush was prepared to defend its environment. The virus was eradicated and a strategy provided to prevent the virus from being retransmitted. “We all pitched in and collaborated to eliminate the virus,” said Parent. “Even though Trend Micro had only seen this virus at one or two other sites, they were able to stop it.” When a 30-day Proof of Concept for Trend Micro™ OfficeScan™ was completed, Rush IT recognized not only the number of threats they were facing, but where the threats were coming from. “Once we understood how much traffic we had to manage, how much malicious traffic to block, and the magnitude of the threats, it was easy to make the case for Trend Micro,” said Parent.

The Solution

Impressed with the results of the OfficeScan endpoint protection solution, Rush decided to switch to Trend Micro and deploy the Trend Micro™ Complete User Protection solution in 2012. The solution includes OfficeScan, as well as email and collaboration security, web security, mobile security, and integrated data loss prevention. The result is a protective shield that is extremely difficult for cyber criminals to penetrate.

In addition to providing protection across Rush endpoints, OfficeScan uncovered far more malware than Rush’s previous security solution and delivered much faster virus scans that did not impact user productivity. “The technology used by Trend Micro was much less intrusive on the CPU, so scans were completed much faster and users stopped complaining,” said Parent. “And the scans were identifying viruses and Trojans that our previous solution did not detect. Put all that together and it’s pretty clear that Trend Micro’s solution was a superior product.”

While having regular strategy sessions with the Trend Micro team, Rush IT leadership quickly recognized that today’s threats require multi-layered protection, particularly in the highly-regulated healthcare and academic environments. After a successful Proof of Concept, Rush deployed Trend Micro™ Deep Security™ and Trend Micro™ Deep Discovery™ solutions.

“We use Deep Security to protect our VDI and virtual servers. The solution provides a comprehensive, agentless security platform for our virtual environment, and we plan to use it for our cloud server implementation,” said Radenkovic. “In addition to maximizing protection for our VDI environment, Deep Security provides virtual patching that shields vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, eliminates emergency patching, frequent patch cycles, and costly system downtime.”

“With Deep Discovery, Rush can monitor the entire network for attacks, analyze malware using sandboxing, and quickly assess and react to the threat,” said Radenkovic. “Deep Discovery is a virtual powerhouse. In the last 90 days Deep Discovery has examined and investigated over 100,000 samples and more than half-a-million million viruses and other malware were blocked using OfficeScan,”

The Solution

One example of the multi-layered support that Trend Micro provides to Rush was when a user downloaded zero-day malware to a PC within the Rush network. Deep Discovery inspected the suspicious malware and ran the threat through its sandbox technology to see what harm it could do and what type of system it could infect. “We actually were able to watch the malware trying to contact its Command and Control servers to get new code and steal our data,” said Parent. “We would have had an outbreak if it wasn’t for Deep Discovery.”

The solution’s centralized management also offers significant benefits. It allows Rush to monitor the health and status of servers, workstations, laptops, compliance—all from a single screen. “Trend Micro™ Control Manager™ solution gives you incredible user-based visibility into what’s going on in your computing environment. It also gives you everything you want from a reporting device—data ranges, graphs, advanced views, and extremely detailed logs,” said Radenkovic. Trend Micro’s support team also played an important role in helping Rush quickly realize the solution’s benefits. “With Trend Micro’s Premium Support Program, the support team not only helped us install and configure software, they taught us how to use their products just like they do,” said Radenkovic. “The level of professionalism and expertise was very impressive—it feels like we’re all on the same team—it’s a fantastic collaboration.”

Results

Since switching to Trend Micro in 2012, Rush University Medical Center has recognized several significant benefits in both the level of network protection and increased user performance. Trend Micro’s Complete User Protection allows the Rush IT team to manage users from a single console, giving Rush complete visibility into security across their IT environment. “Since switching to Trend Micro, our computing environments are now stable. Once we deployed Deep Discovery we have not had any major outbreaks—they helped us identify the infection source and attack vector, so we could address the threat right away,” said Radenkovic.

“Switching to Trend Micro from our previous vendor, it would sometimes take us a day to two to figure out where the attack was coming from, involving lots of resources to correlate that data. After switching to Trend Micro, we’ve been able to identify the attack and the sources almost instantaneously.

Trend Micro OfficeScan has improved user satisfaction with faster and more effective scanning, while making it easy to manage security. “From an overall environment perspective, the number of threats have decreased significantly since we installed Trend Micro solutions,” said Parent. “We can see from the logs provided by the solution that it’s really working.”

With Trend Micro now protecting their entire IT environment, Rush has peace of mind that their valuable healthcare, academic, and other sensitive information is always protected. For healthcare organizations facing ongoing attacks as well as HIPAA compliance regulations, this is very important. “With Trend Micro solutions, we have the tools to see which types of threats we are facing, and quickly resolve them before they affect our system,” said Parent. “This makes us very confident with our compliance audits.”

What’s next?

Rush realizes that there is no shortage of security challenges for medical centers, so they value Trend Micro as an ongoing partner and member of the strategy team. “We currently use Trend Micro encryption for our laptops, but I’d like to deploy Trend Micro encryption for all of our endpoints,” said Parent. “We’ve enjoyed a true partnership with Trend Micro and we may even develop a security solution together someday.”

“We have taken the next step in protecting our data, safeguarding our data, we are now at the next level. The threat landscape has changed and evolved here at Rush and Trend Micro has evolved with us,” said Radenkovic.

Endpoint Security

Must Get Better

endpoint security solutions in any one area. The amount of staff training required garners a particularly negative response, with nearly 30% ranking it only 1 or 2 on a scale of 1–5, where 1 is poor and 5 is excellent.

The reason for the large amount of time needed for staff training is the sheer number of tools. The use of separate management consoles for each of several security tools, such as email security, Web security, DLP or other packages, mandates distinct education regimens for each. In addition, the use of a large number of tools means that management tasks are dupli-cated. For example, every time a policy is changed, that change must be implemented on each management console—a costly and time-consuming process.

Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, Calif., uses four different endpoint security products. “Each solution appears to be reasonably simple to set up and install. It is when combined that it becomes a pain for IT to manage,” says Henry Jenkins, director of information services at the hospital and a survey respondent, in an email message.

Endpoint security is at a critical juncture. Increasingly, employees at organizations of all sizes are using a wider variety than ever of desktop and mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets and laptops, as they work from broadly dispersed locations, including home offices. Often, organizations are permitting and even encouraging employees to use their own devices under BYOD (bring your own device) policies. With these devices, employees are accessing not only corporate data and applications, but also social media, banking and shopping sites.

In a 2014 IDG Research Services survey of IT leaders, 83% say endpoint security is critically important—and with good reason. As recent news events have demonstrated, the scope and cost of data breaches can be very high. For IT professionals, including CIOs and CISOs, corporate/career survival hangs in the balance.

Mobility and BYOD aren’t the only factors placing new impor-tance on endpoint security. Cloud-based applications such as corporate productivity suites and storage require tight security for the endpoints accessing those services. In addition, many orga-nizations are gravitating toward data-centric business models in which business intelligence and operations data are critical—and that data must be accessed from a wide variety of endpoints.

According to the IDG survey, CIOs and CISOs also understand that as the number and variety of attacks have increased, no single technology is sufficient to keep an organization safe. Consequently, a multilayered approach to security is needed, covering such techniques as anti-malware/anti-virus, email secu-rity, secure Web gateway, encryption, application whitelisting/ control, data loss prevention (DLP), advanced threat protection, virtual patching/host IPS and mobile security. Notably, DLP, ATP, virtual patching and mobile security will nearly double in the next year, the survey finds.

Despite recognizing the importance of endpoint security, survey respondents are unhappy with the technology in several respects—most importantly, the complexity of the products and the difficulty of security policy enforcement. In a telling response, less than half highly rate their organizations’ current

2 ENDPOINT SECURITY MUST GET BETTER

As cloud-based solutions gain popularity, endpoint security solutions must effectively handle endpoints whether they are connected to corporate networks or to public or private clouds. However, the ability of endpoint security solutions to evolve with organizations’ cloud strategies does not fare well in the survey. Only 34% rate their solutions at 4 or 5; 23% rate their solutions at 1 or 2; while 14% say they “don’t know,” indicating lack of knowl-edge of a cloud progression path.

The perceived importance of endpoint security and the dissatis-faction with current tools combine to create openness to change among those surveyed. Two-thirds (67%) of organizations are likely to consider alternate security vendors within the next year.

“We want something a whole lot easier to administer and integrate, via standards, to allow a ‘best-of’ solution for our environment, and greater functionality,” says survey respon-dent Richard Buss, senior vice presirespon-dent of technology at EMSL Inc., a nationwide environmental testing lab headquartered in Cinnaminson, N.J., in an email exchange.

Meanwhile, Jenkins of Huntington Memorial Hospital voices similar thoughts in an email exchange. “I would like to see a better, integrated approach that provides the same kind of controls that we are getting from each point solution at a price lower than the sum of our current security solution parts.”

The survey finds that price aside, ease of management, better threat protection and better endpoint performance are the key factors that are likely to lead respondents’ organizations to switch security vendors. And survey respondents will seek out security vendors that can deliver the benefits they view as most important to their businesses: protection against attacks and the ability to avoid the costs of potential security incidents.

Answering the need for a broad range of threat protection that can be managed from a single console, Trend Micro Smart Secu-rity Suites bring together a full complement of secuSecu-rity capa-bilities, including endpoint, email and Web security. From one console, you gain complete visibility across all components of the solution, and can see a time-based view of policy compliance and security incidents for a given user across all of that person’s devices.
