Case Study: KNMI achieves robust AWS cloud security and reliable data protection with Trend Micro (Trend Cloud One)

National Weather Institute Modernizes IT Environment in AWS with Peace of Mind Through Trend Micro’s Cloud One Platform

The KNMI (Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute) is the Netherlands’ national weather service, providing 24/7 forecasts and critical data to citizens, airports (including Schiphol), ports and other weather providers. After moving its research and vast historical climate datasets to AWS, KNMI needed to ensure the integrity, availability and reliability of that cloud-hosted data to prevent corruption or downtime that could have serious real-world impacts.

KNMI deployed Trend Micro Cloud One—using Conformity for cloud posture and Workload Security for virtual patching—which gave teams clear visibility into misconfigurations, faster protection against known and unknown threats, and a tightly controllable, easy-to-rollout security setup. The result was stronger, cloud-independent defenses with responsive vendor support, improved DevOps control, and plans to extend protections to the European Weather Cloud and adopt Trend Vision One for further automation.
