Clough detects and responds across more security layers with Trend Micro Vision One

Detects and responds across more security layers with Trend Micro Vision One

Clough is a pioneering engineering and construction company established in 1919 in Perth, Western Australia. Clough delivers sustainable high performing assets for the infrastructure, resources and energy industries underpinned by a dedication to problem solving and getting the job done safely and efficiently. Today, Clough manages a global workforce of over 2000 people from operating centres across Australia, Papua New Guinea, Asia, UK, and North America.

Hear Jing Leong, Chief Business and Integration Security Officer talk about how they use the Trend Micro Vision One platform to detect more and respond faster to threats at Clough.

 
 

Q&A with Jing Leong, Clough

What challenges do the XDR capabilities of Trend Micro Vision One solve?

As we’re starting to become a global company, we need to see the visibility of all our devices in our infrastructure environment. In today’s digital world, we’re moving towards a decentralized ICT world where visibility has been missed. Part of the reason we were drawn to Trend Micro’s ecosystem was their ability to correlate information from the multiple-layers of the decentralized environment that we have – from laptops, mobiles, tablets, servers, multi-clouds for AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud. They have really helped us. This is why we selected the product, and we now have good visibility as to what we can do with it. The product’s automation helps us analyze and detect. The crucial factor we looked for at the beginning was virtual patching, given the fact that we have legacy environments.

What benefits have you seen from extending visibility, detection, and response beyond the endpoint?

This gave us great insight into which documents are floating around our data environment. This gives us the response to deal with legal cases and the extraction of legal documents. For example, we have the ability to search and filter through what we need from it – that is one way. And of course, there is the normal security aspect: when we detect a threat, we can pinpoint it to the processor/the file itself in multiple streams from the multi-cloud because that multi-cloud is one data stream that we have. From the emails we see now from ransomware, credit card transactions, etc. we can go through that whole trail, which we could not do before – that gave us very good insight.

What is the value of integrating the mobile security layer?

The value of [the mobile security layer] will be huge for us. 2020 is the year of decentralizing and flexible work conditions. We have offered tablets and mobiles as part of our onboarding process. We would have never been able to do that. We need the visibility of what they are doing at home – that will be a game changer for us. We are in the testing phase; this will provide clarity as to what we can deploy and control. A main focus for the upcoming year is to mitigate risk. We are better suited to work remotely – I think this will be a good stepping stone for us.

Embark on a culinary journey through the ever-evolving world of digital leadership with our third edition of the CIONET Cookbook: Recipes for Digital Success. Unveiling the intricate trilemma faced by today’s Master Chefs, our trailblazing European CIOs address a challenge at the nexus of customer interests, digital transformation strategies, and IT modernisation. Their secret? Synchronising the gearing between customer, business, and technology to create a frictionless movement through the digital landscape.

The CIONET Cookbook uses the analogy of a five-star restaurant to explain the importance of optimally integrated technology, with the CIO as Master Chef. In order to provide the best service to its customers, a top restaurant must have the right atmosphere, an inviting menu, a well-equipped kitchen, talented and committed front-of-house and kitchen staff and smooth-running processes that ensure an enjoyable experience for diners.
