Case Study: Bathgate Group achieves simplified security, greater visibility and reduced management time with Trend Micro Worry‑Free Services Advanced

Bathgate Group Gains Greater Visibility, Control, and Simplified Security with Trend Micro™ Worry-Free™ Services

Bathgate Group, a Cheshire‑based UK business spanning quarrying, manufacturing, haulage and finance with around 200 employees, faced a fragmented IT security landscape across four companies and 200 endpoints (including 50 mobile devices). Endpoints ran different security versions and there was no central reporting, leaving a large attack surface and the need for a simple, centrally managed solution that could be configured with business rules.

The group deployed Trend Micro Worry‑Free Services Advanced via the Vodafone Business Marketplace — a SaaS, single‑pane solution protecting endpoints, cloud apps and email. Centralized management and machine‑learning email filtering quickly cut spam, detected and mitigated a hijacked email incident, reduced security man‑hours and gave IT greater visibility, control and confidence; Bathgate has renewed the service for another year.
