Reducing complexity, increasing observability, and automating with AI across 23 global sites were some key digitalization objectives

Operating across an international network of 23 offices, and interfacing with approximately 500 depots and ports worldwide, shipping container leasing firm Seaco was in search of a comprehensive security solution that could effectively protect both employee and customer data across all interactions and devices.

The firm had sought to balance cost, complexity, capability, visibility, and control across their cybersecurity platforms. On 19 Dec 2024, it was announced to have chosen a vendor to support its security tooling consolidation strategy.

After a comprehensive evaluation process that had focused on features, capabilities, the use of AI, and compatibility with the firm’s end-to-end IT environment, Seaco’s IT team has selected a vendor offering

  • Comprehensive visibility across the organization’s entire security environment
  • AI-powered threat detection and response capabilities
  • Integrated security controls for cloud, endpoint, and network security.
  • Automated risk scoring and threat analysis
  • Simplified security management analytics across network, email, cloud, laptop, and server environments through a single console

According to the firm’s CIO, Damian Leach, the features will help Seaco to meet security demands while supporting a critical “human-in-the-loop” decision-making strategy: “The platform’s AI-powered telemetry analysis enables the security team to make faster decisions and identify root causes more efficiently, minimizing the potential impact of security incidents. This focus on the trilogy of people, data, and AI is crucial in interpreting requirements for cybersecurity operations teams, cyber defence experts, and executives alike. The platform’s user experience is intuitive and enables our teams to maximize its potential effectively.”

Looking ahead, Seaco plans to use the platform to enhance its security operations centre capabilities and implement comprehensive security policies that can effectively protect critical corporate assets.

According to David Ng, Managing Director (Singapore, Philippines & Indonesia), Trend Micro, the incumbent firm: “In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, organizations need more than just point solutions: they need a unified, intelligent security platform that can adapt and scale with their business… powered by advanced AI capabilities” that can help global enterprises “simplify their security operations while strengthening their overall cyber resilience.”
