Founded in 1898, this historic and highly ranked athletic club is home to two championship golf courses and a wealth of worldclass amenities, including restaurants, a full fitness center, spa, tennis and pickleball courts, an aquatics center and event space. Maintaining a secure and efficient IT infrastructure is critical to daily operations and member satisfaction with such a wideranging operation that blends hospitality, recreation, and events.

It’s incredibly efficient and doesn’t slow down our systems. Since we installed ESET, we’ve had almost zero issues for the past ten years.

THE CYBERSECURITY CHALLENGE

When the current Director of Technology stepped into the role, the club had no antivirus protection in place. The absence of endpoint security resulted in widespread malware infections across numerous devices, often requiring complete system wipes. The club needed a reliable, lightweight security solution that wouldn’t disrupt day-to-day operations but would offer consistent protection across a diverse and busy environment.

THE CYBERSECURITY SOLUTION

The athletic club selected ESET PROTECT Entry based on its reputation for system efficiency and strong, consistent protection. Since deploying ESET nearly a decade ago, the club has experienced virtually no security incidents—a dramatic turnaround from the previously reactive model of dealing with infections as they happened.

The move to ESET’s cloud-managed version further improved operations by eliminating the need for an on-site server. This allowed the IT team to monitor and manage security remotely with real-time visibility—an essential benefit for a property with so many endpoints and facilities.

“Being able to access everything live from anywhere without needing a dedicated server on property has been a huge time-saver.”

With nearly a decade of issue-free performance, the club’s IT team has the confidence and control they need to focus on innovation and service excellence. ESET’s lightweight, cloud-managed platform continues to deliver peace of mind in a high-performance, multi-faceted environment.
