Case Study: Hynds Pipe Systems achieves simplified, consolidated security and blocks up to 1,000 malware attacks monthly with Trend Micro's Connected Threat Defense

Simplifies, consolidates, and automates security with Trend Micro’s Connected Threat Defence

Hynds Pipe Systems, New Zealand’s leading manufacturer of infrastructure products with 600+ employees and 150 servers across two data centers, faced growing security challenges: protecting customer and government data, securing SCADA and IP, and managing four disparate security consoles with limited visibility into threats. The IT team needed a consolidated, automated solution that could protect endpoints and mobile users while revealing which attacks were actually getting through.

Hynds deployed Trend Micro Smart Protection Complete (including Control Manager, OfficeScan, Hosted Email Security, Deep Security, and Deep Discovery Analyzer) to simplify management and enable a connected threat defense. The deployment gave a single-pane view of the environment, stopped 500–1,000 malware attacks per month, prevented compromises (including rapid mitigation during WannaCry), exposed previously unknown issues, and reduced security management overhead—while Hynds prepares to add Endpoint Sensor for deeper forensics and metrics.
