Case Study: Straits Financial achieves reduced risk scores and 24/7 managed security with Trend Micro

Reaps rewards of managed security and reduced risk scores with Trend Micro

Straits Financial Group is a global trading firm with operations across Singapore, the US, Vietnam, Indonesia, China and Dubai, offering commodities, FX and cryptocurrency services. As the firm scaled over the past decade it struggled with legacy systems, limited security tools and constrained resources, leaving it exposed to increasingly complex cyber threats and in need of greater visibility and a more resilient security posture.

To address this, Straits deployed Trend Vision One (including Attack Surface Risk Management and email/collaboration protections) and outsourced 24/7 monitoring via Trend’s SOCaaS, integrating third‑party logs and endpoint/server defenses. The result was enhanced visibility across global operations, month‑over‑month reductions in risk scores, faster detection and remediation, and relief for the in‑house team by offloading level‑1 monitoring so they can focus on higher‑level threats.
