Case Study: Seneca Polytechnic achieves robust data protection and faster threat response with Trend Micro

Trend Micro enables Seneca Polytechnic to focus on security excellence and protect data

Seneca Polytechnic, one of Ontario’s largest colleges serving more than 30,000 students and staff, needed to ensure always-on access to information across personal devices while protecting sensitive student data and intellectual property. With a lean IT security team and a campus BYOD environment, the challenge was detecting real threats quickly and prioritizing alerts so the team could respond to the most critical issues.

By deploying Trend Micro Deep Security, Deep Discovery Inspector and Deep Discovery Analyzer, Seneca gained built-in threat intelligence, virtual patching and automated alert prioritization that let the small security team focus on top risks. The solutions rapidly flagged incidents (including a server used for Bitcoin mining) and stopped a simulated ransomware attack, allowing Seneca to maintain a robust security posture with limited staff.
