Construction firm the Carey Group benefits from the power of one
When it comes to cybersecurity, simplicity is an underrated quality. Yet across the country, IT leaders are increasingly realising that investments in point solutions over the years have not made them more secure—quite the opposite.
When it comes to cybersecurity, simplicity is an underrated quality. Yet across the country, IT leaders are increasingly realising that investments in point solutions over the years have not made them more secure—quite the opposite.
One firm that has taken a different approach is the Carey Group. Its investment in Trend Micro for endpoint, web gateway, cloud application and detection and response capabilities has made it better equipped to handle the cybersecurity challenges of the post-pandemic era.
Under attack
Organisations in the construction industry are increasingly being targeted by cyber-criminals who see opportunities to steal sensitive data and trick employees with business email compromise (BEC) scams. The challenges facing the industry are so acute that the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) recently published a guidance document for IT managers in the sector.
Infrastructure Engineer Amjad Khan knew several years ago that he had to improve the firm’s endpoint security, which was reliant on Windows Defender. He was first attracted to Trend Micro by the comprehensive range of threat detection and prevention capabilities in Apex One. But he also realised that Trend Micro also offered integrated XDR for rapid response to breaking attacks, and Cloud App Security for protection of Microsoft 365 and other SaaS environments. He rounded these out with our web gateway solution to add an extra layer of cloud-based protection.
No room to hide
Consolidating on a unified platform like this has multiple benefits. These include:
- Cost reduction, in terms of licenses otherwise spent on point solutions
- Easier and cheaper training for IT staffers
- Streamlined technical support calls and account management
- Reduction of coverage gaps, leaving the bad guys nowhere to hide
