Ballenberg Open-Air Museum: How the UMB Cyber Defense Center Helps Protect a Swiss Jewel.
Since its opening in 1978, Ballenberg has been telling the story of Switzerland in a unique way. Even this small, friendly Swiss institution needs to protect itself from attacks from cyberspace or malware. That's why officials at the open-air museum turned to UMB's security experts to set up endpoint protection and response (EDR). Today, the UMB Cyber Defense Center reliably protects Ballenberg's devices with SentinelOne.

Ancient meets ultra-modern: The historic buildings are being digitized and connected
The historic buildings at Ballenberg will be gradually connected over the next few years. This is not only about WLAN for visitors, but also about the information screens in the historic buildings, which tell the public about their exciting history in an entertaining way. These devices need protection in cyberspace.
UMB Cyber Defense Center secures endpoints with SentinelOne
Even Ballenberg is not immune to cyber attacks. Isabelle Piredda, IT Manager at Ballenberg, explains: «You can't tell by looking at the historic buildings what technology is in them today. The increasing interconnectivity of the buildings and Wi-Fi available to visitors pose a major challenge to our cybersecurity».
Today, the UMB Cyber Defense Center protects endpoints at Ballenberg using the SentinelOne Singularity Endpoint Solution. Incidents are reported in real time as a service to the UMB Cyber Defense Center, where they are analyzed by our security experts and, if necessary, appropriate action is taken immediately.
Martin Michel, CEO of Ballenberg, commented: «As a small company, we were never under the illusion that we were safe from cyber threats. Although we manage our own IT, we value the expertise of UMB's security specialists and feel much safer with their support.»
