Case Study: SMS Group strengthens security and reduces response time with Trellix XDR

Maintaining the Highest Standards of Security With Trellix Solutions

SMS Group, a global metals manufacturer, faced the challenge of maintaining robust cybersecurity with a lean IT team amidst a widespread skills shortage and the complexities of integrating acquired companies. To address this, they partnered with Trellix to adopt an XDR-based security strategy utilizing the Trellix SecOps Platform, which includes Trellix EDR, ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO), and Application Control.

The comprehensive Trellix solution provided a single management console, automating policies and reducing complexity. This integration saved the team time, reduced their mean time to respond to threats, and streamlined the process of onboarding new companies. Trellix technologies also empowered the IT staff to confidently answer strategic security questions and plan for future enhancements like Trellix Data Loss Prevention.
