Grenda Transit is a transportation company in Melbourne, Australia that was merged with another transit company. They needed a security solution that could protect their IT environment consisting of both VMware and Citrix virtual systems. Trend Micro's Deep Security product was chosen because it provided comprehensive protection across their physical, virtual, and cloud systems from a single console and did not impact performance. Deep Security reduced their management requirements by up to 75% and stopped threats before they reached their IT environment.

1. We investigated a number of vendors and products. Trend Mi-
cro’s Deep Security stood out because it was host-based instead
of guest-based, so the integration with VMware was simple.

Trend Micro™ Deep Security Provides Cloud-based Protection for Grenda Transit
Overview
Grenda Transit is a 67-year-old family business that provides transportation services for
Melbourne’s general public. In 2011, Grenda was purchased by the Ventura Group, which
also operated public transportation services in Melbourne. With more than 1500 employees
servicing 60% of Melbourne’s public transport market, Grenda Transit delivers 8.6 million
passengers to their destinations yearly with a fleet of 650 vehicles and buses. Today, Grenda
operates buses and transit systems that focus on passenger safety, cutting-edge technology,
and exceptional customer service.
Challenges
With the 2011 merger of Grenda Transit and the Ventura Group, IT security concerns surfaced
as the companies began combining their IT resources. With two different IT systems, Grenda
Transit needed a security solution that was compatible with both Citrix XenServer and
VMware vSphere Hypervisor technology. To secure their entire IT environment, Grenda
Transit needed flexible, lightweight, and robust anti-malware protection that could be easily
managed from a single console.
