Founded in 1992, DongA Joint Stock Commercial Bank (DongA Bank) has grown over the last two decades to become one of the few leading Vietnamese banks with presence in over 50 provinces and cities nationwide. It was also the first commercial bank in Vietnam to own modern automated teller machines (ATMs).
Today, DongA Bank has one of most extensive ATM networks across the country and employs over 4,800 staff. The retail banking market in Vietnam has been undergoing rapid growth and development over the last decade, with players turning to modern technologies for the creation of new products and services to satisfy the increasingly sophisticated customer.
DongA Bank needed a robust yet easy-to-deploy-and maintain comprehensive security solution to protect its corporate network running across multiple offices and branches throughout the country. A competitor’s solution was previously deployed at the desktop level but was unable to keep up with increasingly complex threats over time.
Technology Solution
DongA Bank selected Sophos Endpoint Protection for Business to help address its security needs, particularly in safeguarding its endpoint devices, applications and email connecting some 1,500 users from sophisticated malware threats including adware, and suspicious files and behaviour.
The integrated solution offers a single, automated management console to enable DongA bank centrally deploy and manage antivirus and client firewall protection, intrusion prevention, endpoint web protection, as well as device and application control. It also minimises the impact on computer performance with its single scanning engine rated as the fastest of any major security vendor.
Business Results
Since the implementation of Sophos Endpoint Protection for Business, DongA Bank has experienced near zero security incident and a sharp decrease in user complaints and queries. Day-to-day security management is now being carried out with greater ease and lesser manpower.
“We have been seeing good results with the rollout of Sophos Endpoint Protection for Business since day one,particularly in areas of maintenance and administration as it requires very little manual interventions,” added Chan. “The performance and robustness of the solution is excellent with minimal utilisation of computing resources. This really helps save us a lot of time and money.”
