COUNTRY FOCUS : BELGIUM
Belgian-headquartered private rail freight operator , Lineas , wanted to better identify threats and improve its ability to monitor its entire network and analyse attacks . Christophe Rome , Chief Information Security Officer at Lineas , tells us why having a robust cybersecurity culture is important for the company , and how SentinelOne ’ s solution allows it to future-proof operations .

Lineas switches to SentinelOne endpoint protection

Lineas is Europe ’ s largest private rail

freight operator . With its innovative logistics solutions , it convinces companies to shift the transport of their goods from road to rail , thereby improving their supply chain and reducing their negative impact on the climate and mobility . Rail services provide a crucial link in the supply chain for all kinds of companies , across all sectors . It is therefore imperative that Lineas is able to ensure the availability of its operations at all times . In order to achieve that goal , it implemented SentinelOne ’ s endpoint security platform .
Christophe Rome , Chief Information Security Officer at Lineas , said : “ We no longer believed in the effectiveness of signaturebased antivirus . Attackers are not deterred by traditional antivirus tools . They easily find a way to get around that .”
Now that malicious code is much better hidden and is often only running in memory , it is increasingly difficult to identify threats . New technologies and methodologies must provide a solution for this , for example with behavioural analysis , AI and Machine Learning . In addition , Lineas wanted more options to better monitor the entire network , including endpoints , and to analyse attacks .
“ We wanted to focus on added-value tasks such as threat hunting , rather than having to check every single alert ,” said Rome .
“ The whole approach had to be arranged in a smarter way .”
Security based on behavioural analysis
Lineas therefore went in search of a security platform that works on the basis of behavioural analysis in order to protect against known and unknown threats .
During the proof of concept , SentinelOne stood out , characterised by a high-degree of automation for the protection of endpoints thanks to the use of AI and Machine Learning .
“ We particularly liked the remote shell capability , which allows us to investigate
