Cybersecurity ist längst kein reines IT-Thema mehr – sie betrifft das gesamte Unternehmen. Doch während die Bedrohungslage zunimmt, geraten viele Security-Verantwortliche an ihre Belastungsgrenzen: zwischen 24/7-Verantwortung, wachsenden Anforderungen und dem ständigen Innovationsdruck.

IT-Betrieb und Cybersicherheit stehen heute unter extremem Druck: steigende Komplexität, wachsende regulatorische Anforderungen (NIS2, DORA, KRITIS), chronische Ressourcenknappheit – und gleichzeitig eine Bedrohungslage, die keine Verzögerungen duldet. Trotzdem agieren viele IT- und Security-Teams noch immer in Silos. Die Folge: ineffiziente Abläufe, Tool-Wildwuchs, langsame Reaktion auf Vorfälle und unklare Verantwortlichkeiten.

La dette technique est comparable à la négligence des réparations d'une maison. Ignorer un toit qui fuit peut faire gagner du temps aujourd'hui, mais cela pourrait conduire à l'effondrement du plafond plus tard. Pour remédier à la dette technique, il faut trouver et réparer ces fuites dès maintenant et mettre en place un plan d'entretien de la maison afin qu'elle soit prête pour les extensions futures. Pour résoudre ces problèmes, il faut définir des priorités stratégiques, communiquer clairement avec les parties prenantes et établir une feuille de route à long terme pour la modernisation. Cet événement se déroulera entièrement en français.

University of Warwick bolsters cyber defences with Trend Micro Cloud App Security
Bolsters cyber defences with Trend Micro Cloud App Security
OVERVIEW
The UK education sector is an increasingly popular target for cybercriminals. Separate pieces of research have revealed that many universities have faced phishing and ransomware attacks. Given the highly sensitive research-based IP and personal data on students and staff stored by these institutions, it’s no surprise that they’ve become a favourite of hackers.
The University of Warwick has recognized the rise in attacks and proactively decided to further strengthen its defenses. Its Head of Cloud Services, Des Butcher, in conjunction with colleagues, sought out third-party expertise to help secure its Office 365 environment.
The University’s existing anti-spam and malware capabilities were based on existing Unix relays; an unsustainable situation given the rapidly increasing volume, complexity and variety of threats. Des and his colleagues in ITS therefore set out to find a more effective solution to the problem; and one which addressed not only the primary threat vector of email but also provided protection across the entire Office 365 range. A priority was placed on third-party providers who could offer tight integration with Microsoft’s online productivity suite with an easy-to-implement product set.
ENTER CLOUD APP SECURITY
Des started a review of security solutions in January 2017, and asked a select group of vendors to present to the email team and IT security staff. Trend Micro™ Cloud App Security was chosen based on this presentation, and some outstanding commercials.
Trend Micro Cloud App Security is the perfect choice for businesses looking to extend the built-in security protections of Office 365 with advanced malware detection and data loss prevention. Here are just some of the benefits:
Document exploit detection helps find malware including ransomware in Office formats like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.
Trend Micro™ Deep Discovery™ sandbox technology detects unknown malware and shares intelligence with other security layers.
Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™-derived intelligence finds malicious URLs in both the message body and email attachments.
Detects attacks in progress as hackers try to migrate via email from compromised accounts within the organization.
Data Loss Prevention for OneDrive, SharePoint Online, Dropbox®, Box®, and Google Drive™ uses over 200 pre-built and customizable compliance templates to control sharing of controlled data.
Scans files shared from remote workers and partners.
Tight API-based integration means automatic, hassle-free set-up.
Trend Micro has been a Microsoft Gold Partner for 20 years.
"Trend Micro sits within your tenancy. That proximity to the data being protected had a significant advantage versus other gateway products. Typical gateway products focused on just email, rather than email, SharePoint and OneDrive, which are the other significant aspects of Office 365."
Des Butcher - Head of Cloud Services, University of Warwick
MAXIMUM SECURITY, MINIMUM OUTLAY
Des and his team first conducted some pen testing exercises on Cloud App Security before running the product in monitoring mode for a couple of weeks to check for false positives. The results were very good and the product was switched on.
It’s been plain sailing ever since: although the attacks keep on increasing, the impact on the university is significantly lower than that prior to Cloud App Security installation, says Des.
“We haven’t been affected by the majority of the attacks on higher education institutions that get reported” he adds.
The product has also helped Des save valuable resources, at a time when budgets are tight.
“By moving our defense into Office 365, we’re in a position to reduce the amount of resource we devote to this area and focus it elsewhere,” he concludes.
“From a commercial point-of-view, I’m confident its cost is neutral and has delivered significant benefits.”
"We can see a measurable benefit: a reduction in the volume of malware arriving in our users’ inboxes. We can look at the dashboard and get a view of potentially thousands of pieces of malicious content getting blocked."
