Bromium Helps Pioneer Investments “Keep Up With the Threat Curve”

Pfeil first learned about Bromium when he received a call from his local sales representative. The idea of isolating tasks from the operating system along with the malware that could potentially accompany them was intriguing. Pfeil asked Bromium to set up a test environment where the widely publicized Black Hole Web exploit was planted to deliberately infect an endpoint with malware. Bromium vSentry not only stopped the exploit “dead cold,” but also provided a detailed analysis—a visual picture of the execution and trajectory of the attack. What impressed Pfeil most of all was the fact that Bromium’s solution uses hardware-level isolation via Intel’s VT technology. Pfeil was convinced that it was time to start deploying Bromium at Pioneer Investments. In a matter of days, he had Bromium running on 25 PCs located all over the world: in Boston, Dublin, several locations in Eastern Europe, Munich, and Vienna. According to Pfeil, the process went smoothly, and when he needed support, a Bromium engineer was just a phone call away. “Support was very pleasant and effective. If an issue arose, I provided the support engineer with the logs, and he would talk me through the problem. Resolution was always quick,” he said.
