Trend Micro, a global vendor in cybersecurity solutions, announced that Oman Arab Bank, has selected Trend Micro to secure its digital universe. In their next step towards endpoint segmentation on the network, Oman Arab Bank has selected Trend Micro for its DR security because they wanted to have that same comfort level, and ensure best security practices.

For Oman Arab Bank, Tipping Point, has been instrumental in getting signatures on a daily basis. This solution is dynamic enough to catch those vulnerabilities and the solution itself works on an online module the GOI interface allows for easy to use.

Trend Micro Integrated DLP helped the bank minimises the complexity and cost of data security by integrating DLP functionality directly into the Trend Micro solutions and management consoles. With a lightweight plug-in, providing increased visibility and control of sensitive data, while preventing data loss via USB, email, SaaS applications, web, mobile devices, and cloud storage.

The DLP plug-in required no extra hardware or software, and it leverages built-in regional and industry-specific templates to simplify deployment. Integrated DLP allows Oman Arab Bank deploy data security for a fraction of the cost and time of traditional enterprise DLP solutions.

Trend Micro Deep Discovery, Advanced Threat Protection gives the power to detect, analyse, and respond to today’s stealthy ransomware, its variants, including WannaCry, and targeted attacks in real time.
