FireEye Endpoint Security for manufacturing

As with many small businesses, Alpha Grainger started out with firewalls and antivirus software. But Hennessy and other company executives became concerned about the growing number of cyber breaches across industries. They decided a deep analysis of cyber security solutions was needed to ensure the company had the most effective, up-to-date defense.

“Our primary goal in terms of security is protecting intellectual property,” says Hennessy. “The challenge is the unknown— the adversaries or cyber terrorists who may be out there, ready to cause trouble and disrupt any business including ours.”

In 2015, Hennessy looked at a variety of solutions.

“I assessed about 10 different technologies from companies including Bit9, BeyondTrust, Trusteer and Tenable Network Security.”

After careful evaluation, Alpha Grainger selected three FireEye products to boost its defense: FireEye Network Security (NX), for its network, FireEye Endpoint Security (HX), for managing its client computers, and FireEye Email Threat Prevention (ETP) Cloud.
