THE CHALLENGE
Protecting a global manufacturing empire in an evolving threat landscape
As one of the world’s largest technology manufacturers, with prominent customers like Apple, Dell, HP, Microsoft, and Sony, Leading Global Technology Manufacturer runs a global tech supply chain spanning digital and physical infrastructure. This complex network demands iron-clad, hardened security for its $40 billion business.
As the Leading Global Technology Manufacturer experienced explosive growth, their security setup became fragmented and difficult to manage. With a small security team, gaining a unified, clear view of their environment was challenging. This siloed visibility hindered efforts to standardise security practices, automate processes, and maintain oversight.
“Our biggest hurdle was juggling multiple tools, each offering only a partial picture,” says Global Security Director. “We often had to piece together information to achieve operational clarity, not only for security, but for troubleshooting any IT issues. Our drive was to get the clearest picture of our environment.”
”Our standards for cybersecurity are textbook thick, requiring us to meet all risk management frameworks,” adds Global Security Director. “We’ve spent the past five years with many reviews and assessments to complement all the different cybersecurity requirements.”
The move to TrendAI Vision One™ brought a much-needed single-pane-of-glass view, centralizing and dramatically simplifying the visualization, quantification, and security of previously unseen aspects of the organizational environment.
THE SOLUTION
TrendAI Vision One™ empowers Leading Global Technology Manufacturer with end-to-end proactive threat visibility
Leading Global Technology Manufacturer addressed their security challenges by transitioning from their on-premises TrendAI™ solution to the comprehensive Trend Vision One agentic AI cybersecurity platform. “With TrendAI Vision One™, Trend is building an ecosystem, and we’re able to grow alongside it and address our evolving needs,” says Global Security Director.
“Through a single dashboard, Leading Global Technology Manufacturer has simplified the visualization and security management of their complex environment. “[TrendAI Vision One™] helps us build a cohesive security ecosystem that adapts as we grow and evolve,” says Global Security Director. “This helps us to build trust with our customers.”
Quantifying risk with TrendAI Vision One™ Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM)
CREM transforms Leading Global Technology Manufacturer’s complex security data into clear, actionable risk scores. This helps their security team focus on the highest‑priority threats and reduce the overload of alerts. “CREM gives our engineers a clear starting point, cutting through analysis paralysis and supports more effective threat prioritization,” explains Global Security Director.
“We gamify security across multiple company sites, fostering competition between security teams and encouraging continuous improvement of Quanta’s overall security posture,” he adds.
Beyond internal benefits, TrendAI Vision One™ plays a key role in communicating security performance to executives and customers. By providing quantifiable improvements in risk posture and compliance over time, Leading Global Technology Manufacturer is able to demonstrate how their security investments are reducing exposure and aligning with regulatory requirements.
“Our biggest hurdle was juggling multiple tools.”
