Cyber security company Trend Micro has deployed its endpoint and server security solutions across more than 26,000 branches of SBI in and outside India and over 275,000 endpoints.
Trend Micro also secures 29,000 VM’s (Virtual Machines).
SBI, the largest public sector bank in India, is focusing on digital initiatives by utilizing technologies such as Cloud, mobility and security.
“We protect customers who have already adopted the technology or who are already there on the high-end curve of the technology adoption, we also prepare customers to adopt those technologies faster,” said Nilesh Jain, country manager – (India and SAARC) at Trend Micro.
SBI has partnered with Trend Micro for their Endpoint, Gateway and Data Centre Security solutions. Five years back, Trend Micro did the initial deployment for SBI within six months. The main pain area then was the large number of branch offices and the time lost in updating of signature AV patent file as there was little or slow connectivity of remote branches.
“We are also in the process of securing Trend Micro’s Data Centre Security solution – Deep Security that provides host based security capabilities such as Virtual Patching that detects and patches vulnerabilities automatically across all OS and Applications on the fly. This solution requires no down time to deploy and can be used across physical, virtual and cloud platforms,” said Mrutyunjay Mahapatra, DMD and CIO of SBI.
“Going Digital, Private Hybrid Cloud, Social Media and Cyber Security are going to be the key drivers to doing more and more transactions in the most secure possible way,” said Shiv Kumar Bhasin, CTO of State Bank of India.
