Case Study: Oil Equipment Supplier standardizes global malware scanning and secures legacy industrial assets with Trend Micro

Global oil equipment supplier secures industrial assets with Trend Micro

A global manufacturer, distributor, and servicer of oil and gas drilling equipment needed to secure widely distributed onshore and offshore assets. Field service technicians had no standardized anti‑malware process—often relying on free scanners—while customers relied on legacy Windows and Linux (even Windows XP) systems and the company faced strict regulatory and reporting requirements.

They deployed Trend Micro Portable Security 3, a USB‑based, no‑install malware scanner that supports legacy OS, provides intuitive LED status, and produces downloadable, timestamped scan reports for compliance. Technicians now perform quick pre‑scans and remediate compromises onsite as a billable service, delivering standardized global malware protection, better visibility into legacy assets, faster incident response, and stronger positioning as an innovator in industrial services.
