Case Study: United Arab Bank achieves robust threat detection and faster encryption management with Trend Micro

United Arab Bank Mitigates Threats, Builds Business Competitiveness and Customer Trust with Trend Micro

United Arab Bank (UAB), a long‑standing UAE retail and corporate bank, needed to strengthen cybersecurity while meeting strict regulatory and operational requirements. Its legacy anti‑malware couldn’t monitor user behavior or stop increasingly complex banking attacks, and routine tasks such as managing encryption credentials took up to eight hours—prompting UAB to seek a more robust, integrated security solution.

UAB deployed Trend Micro’s secure digital platform—including Smart Protection Complete, Apex One with EDR, Deep Security and XDR—integrated with VMware NSX to gain layered protection, improved visibility, and faster investigations. The bank now detects over 80% of cyber threats, reduced encryption management from eight hours to two, rapidly deploys agents, and applies virtual patching and malware protection across 1,000 servers, 60 applications and 500 users, boosting compliance, competitiveness and customer trust.
