Trend Micro has announced that United Arab Bank’s security transformation is unlocking the region’s USD 8 billion banking security market.
United Arab Bank replaced its legacy anti-virus software with a secure digital platform with full network visibility and management. The bank has gained virtual patching, malware protection, user behaviour, and malicious activity for 500 users running 60 systems and apps on 1,000 servers. As a result, United Arab Bank reduced time to manage encryption from 8 hours to 2 hours, detects over 80 percent of cyber-threats, and quickly and easily deploys security agents.
“In the face of rising cyber-threats against banks in the region, our security transformation with Trend Micro assures our customers that they are banking on the most secure banking platform,” said Mahmoud Yassin, Head of Information Security, United Arab Bank. “Trend Micro’s automated and integrated security solutions, and its strong research and development, are key for our competitiveness, our compliance, and staying ahead of the curve.”
In particular, United Arab Bank has deployed the Trend Micro solutions Smart Protection Complete for endpoint security, Deep Security Software for runtime security for workloads, and Endpoint Detection and Response for real-time threat detection and response. United Arab Bank has also integrated Trend Micro solutions with the VMware NSX virtualization software.
Currently, United Arab Bank is exploring additional Trend Micro solutions such as Intrusion Protection System, Deep Discovery Inspector, and Deep Discovery Analyzer.
