Case Study: Citizens Savings and Loan achieves improved VMware performance and stronger malware protection with Bitdefender Security for Virtualized Environments

Citizens Savings and Loan turns to Bitdefender to replace traditional security and improve performance

Citizens Savings and Loan, a Kansas-based financial institution serving about 10,000 customers, faced severe performance degradation after moving to a VMware virtualized environment because their traditional antivirus slowed virtual servers and VDI sessions. Seeking a virtualization-specific security vendor, Citizens Savings and Loan turned to Bitdefender for a solution that would preserve performance and provide reliable malware protection.

Bitdefender deployed its Security for Virtualized Environments (SVE) after a brief proof-of-concept, with appliances downloaded and running in about an hour; the result was significantly improved VMware performance, effective malware blocking, and faster, more responsive VDI for employees. Bitdefender’s easy deployment and responsive Enterprise Support allowed Citizens Savings and Loan to realize the cost and consolidation benefits of virtualization without the prior performance pain.
