Case Study: AlertBoot achieves HIPAA compliance and 50% customer cost reduction with Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption

AlertBoot Ensures Compliance and Lowers its client costs with Trend Micro™ Endpoint Encryption

AlertBoot is a global managed services provider founded in 2007 that supports about 2,000 customers and manages more than 300,000 endpoints across regulated industries like healthcare and finance. Facing growing demand for disk encryption, tighter HIPAA requirements, and the need for scalable, easy-to-manage security for both customers and internal IP, AlertBoot sought a solution that delivered strong compliance, centralized management, and minimal operational overhead.

AlertBoot deployed Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption (with plans to adopt Control Manager) to provide policy-based encryption for laptops, desktops, removable media, and mobile devices, along with remote kill/clean-sweep and unified web-based reporting. The result: significantly reduced management time and costs—allowing AlertBoot to cut customer pricing by 50%—3,000 licenses sold to date, faster sales cycles (trial-to-deployment in a day), and improved real-time auditing and HIPAA compliance visibility.
