Auto Sales Dealership

A Washington-based auto dealership operates across multiple locations, offering automotive sales and services. Their IT environment must adhere to strict compliance standards, including GLBA, FTC, and PCI requirements. To maintain secure operations, the dealership relies on dependable, efficient IT security solutions that provide visibility, streamlined management, and strong protection against emerging threats.

Before ESET, our IT team was constantly firefighting outdated products and manual updates, all while battling high system resource usage. ESET transformed our operations, bringing efficiency and peace of mind.

THE CYBERSECURITY CHALLENGE

The dealership group faced several IT security challenges with the previous solution including frequent manual updates and fixes, limited visibility into runtime inspections and security processes, and high system resource usage that impacted business operations. These challenges hindered the organization’s ability to maintain compliance with regulatory standards and created inefficiencies in managing their IT security environment.

THE CYBERSECURITY SOLUTION

The dealership group selected ESET PROTECT Enterprise with Managed Detection and Response and ESET Full Disk Encryption to secure the company’s 700 devices. The decision was based on several key factors. First ESET’s low false positive rates coupled with its strong threat detection capabilities enhanced overall security and efficiency. The IT team also found ESET’s minimal system resource footprint helped them ensure smooth operations without compromising on performance. With ESET MDR, they benefit from 24/7 monitoring that integrates AI, machine learning and ESET’s world-class human expertise for unparalleled threat detection and real-time incident response.

ESET’s centralized console management and reliable autoupdating features also addressed the organization’s previous pain points, providing a more streamlined and effective security platform. In addition, the dealership group found ESET’s competitive pricing aligned with their security budget.

Since adopting ESET, the dealership group has experienced notable improvements in their IT security operations, particularly in meeting and maintaining compliance with GLBA, FTC, and PCI standards.
