Trend Micro has announced the deployment of its comprehensive security solutions for Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL). Along with Trend Micro’s office scan antivirus suite, HPCL opted for the vendor’s InterScan Mail security and InterScan Web security solutions, which provided sufficient gateway security for the company. For centralized management, HPCL also implemented Trend Micro Control Manager, an enterprise management dashboard, which tracks security performance, reports malware events, and also helps HPCL in setting threat policies, increasing visibility across the enterprise, and improving compliance.
Dhanya Thakkar, Managing Director, India & SAARC, Trend Micro, stated, HPCL implemented our enterprise management dashboard, which tracks security performance, reports malware events, and also helps HPCL in setting threat policies, increasing visibility across the enterprise, and improving compliance. Our solution also helped HPCL in tightening its security policies.
The solution we had was not comprehensive. It was protecting us only at the client level. But there was no protection at the network level. There were times when, for instance, we could not connect a freshly formatted laptop onto the network without getting infected by a virus. We realized that having AV software on all the clients was not sufficient. Also, monitoring and patching was not happening effectively. There were many instances of PCs getting re-formatted because the AV software did not work properly. When we studied the scenario, we realized that it was mainly because the users were not updating their antivirus software regularly, said M. P. Keshava, Chief Manager – Information Security and Compliance, HPCL.
The AV suite, since the implementation, has evolved to become a complete end-point security solution. As the next step, HPCL has implemented Trend Micro’s Deep Security for its virtualized environment.
