Alle nutzen KI, aber keiner weiß wie effektiv! Im Jahr 2025 sind wir als IT-EntscheiderInnen gefordert die Wünsche der Fachbereiche an Künstliche Intelligenz zu managen. Welche KI dient als Copilot für unsere Mitarbeitenden, inwieweit hat diese Zugang zu Firmenwissen und könnten wir heute bereits sinnvoll einen KI Agenten in die IT Systemlandschaft einbinden? Unser Business Partner Scheer PAS spricht als Anbieter einer Process iPaaS Plattform mit hunderten Unternehmen jedes Jahr über IT-Integration. In dieser Online-Session besprechen wir erste Reifegradmodelle zu KI, wo der deutsche Mittelstand sich befindet und wie wir die nächste Innovationsstufe erreichen. Wir teilen praktische Erfahrungen aus dem Marktumfeld und planen unsere nächsten Schritte in der Adaption von KI.

Increases Visibility and Security for Global Endpoints with Trend Micro Vision One™
OVERVIEW
Impetus Technologies, a software products and services company, focuses on helping enterprises achieve their digital transformation goals. Headquartered in Los Gatos, California, it has offices in the U.S, India, and Canada with Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies as its customers.
For Impetus, cybersecurity is more than just a good business practice. It serves as an assurance for its customers. Impetus prioritizes data privacy and security, and clearly demonstrated these priorities to its clients.
The granularity of detection capability offered by Trend Micro’s platform helped us gain much-needed visibility of attack vectors in our environment hence reducing MTTD and MTTR.
With the onset of the pandemic, the swift and sudden shift of employees from on-site to remote work environments challenged organizations. The increase in remote computing also created endpoint risks that many companies had not fought against before.
“The surge in cyberattacks globally complicated things further. Threat detection and response was getting harder while using our legacy on-premises endpoint protection platform (EPP). The signature-based detection was ineffective against unrecognized attacks and was unable to give us visibility around what was happening at the endpoint level that could possibly lead to an attack,” says Vikas Khandelwal, director of information technology at Impetus.
The legacy endpoint security tool proved to be ill-equipped to deal with modern security threats. In addition, the service and support for the platform was declining, and escalations went unresolved.
“In such circumstances, we decided to upgrade our endpoint defenses and went to find a better endpoint security platform that also included EDR capabilities,” says Vikas.
WHY TREND
To address risks and challenges, the Impetus team evaluated various EDR solutions. Impetus performed a proof of concept with four different providers. Using an internally developed scorecard to evaluate the various aspects most important to their security needs, the team found Trend Micro to be the best fit for its requirements.
“Not all endpoint security products are rated equal. We found Trend Micro Vision One™, with its extended detection and response capabilities, performed better than other solutions at detecting threats on the endpoint and for providing protection against the next generation of attacks. What I liked about Trend Micro’s platform was the granularity of detection capability that helped us gain visibility on attack vectors in our environment, hence reducing mean time to detect or discover (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR). While other providers had similar offerings, they were not as comprehensive, and could not provide visibility beyond endpoints. Trend Micro Vision One provided coverage for endpoints and also goes beyond to cover email and cloud workloads as well. We can now cross-correlate detections across these multiple layers which is helping us to preempt potential security threats in advance,” says Vikas.
“We were fortunate that the transition to Trend Micro XDR was smooth and without many hiccups. We faced some challenges, but the support from Trend Micro helped us handle the issues,” says Vikas.
Trend Micro Vision One not only provided coverage for endpoints but went beyond to cover email and cloud workloads as well.
RESULTS
With XDR in place, Impetus now has a better overall security posture in terms of earlier detection and complete remediation.
Today, Trend Micro Vision One supports 2,500 endpoints. “We are growing at a high speed and we should have around 4,000 endpoints by next year. The cloud-based XDR will address this scale,” says Vikas.
WHAT'S NEXT
“Our security partners must have integrity and the same passion for their services as we have at Impetus. Trend Micro gives us that. They give us the comfort that we are secure,” says Vikas.
Considering the current work environment, Impetus will be on the lookout for scalable security solutions to mitigate all kinds of challenges and attack vectors.

CIOFEST 2025 - From Order Taker to Proactive Disruptor
As AI transitions from a specialised tool to an all-pervasive force, understanding its profound implications for our human lives is no longer merely academic but an urgent imperative for social well-being and strategic preparedness.
Geopolitical tensions have dominated the headlines for over two years now. In this context, the cyber threat landscape is also evolving rapidly. The protection and security of critical infrastructure – both physical and digital – is becoming increasingly important.
