CUSTOMER CASE STUDY
Copenhagen Airport, a prominent transportation hub, faced the challenge of securing its extensive infrastructure while managing a diverse range of operations. With limited internal security resources, the airport sought a partner to conduct a thorough assessment of its security posture and identify potential weaknesses. The Trend Red Team was tasked with identifying any external weaknesses in the airport’s infrastructure that could lead to a compromise of the internal network.
CHALLENGES FACED BY COPENHAGEN AIRPORT
The airport’s scope of operations means that security must be managed across multiple terminals, airlines, and operational departments. Yet there are not sufficient personnel to support round-the-clock security monitoring and response. Given those conditions, Copenhagen Airport focused on improving its ability to withstand cyberattacks by strengthening its digital defenses.
Trend Micro Red Teaming’s comprehensive assessments and expert guidance have significantly enhanced our security posture.
