Bluekens Truck and Bus faces increasing cyber threats. By switching to Interstellar's managed EDR solution, based on SentinelOne, they’ve achieved a significantly higher security level, resulting in robust protection of their ICT environment.
Bluekens Truck and Bus is a prominent dealer of Volvo and Renault trucks and buses with multiple locations in the Netherlands. They are an essential partner for public transport companies and offer a wide range of services that contribute to vehicle uptime and profitability. Bluekens is a Interstellar customer since 2011.
Traditional security solutions such as firewalls and virus scanners were no longer sufficient for Bluekens Truck and Bus, given the rapidly evolving cyber threats within their sector.
These traditional solutions work based on databases containing technical characteristics of threats. A threat such as a virus must therefore first be known in the database and recognized before it is intercepted. It was clear to Bluekens Truck and Bus that a new way of securing was needed to optimally protect their own ICT environment.
Nothing has changed at all for the users, except that we’re better protected, of course!

Interstellar introduced a managed EDR solution that combines advanced security techniques in one system. This system offers real-time monitoring and response to abnormal behavior within the ICT infrastructure, supported by AI and machine learning.
“We hardly noticed the implementation”, says Wilbert Karstanje, system administrator at Bluekens Truck and Bus. “The regular engineers from Interstellar know our environment inside out. SentinelOne was therefore quickly implemented. The transition had no impact on work or availability. Nothing has changed at all for the users, except that we are better protected, of course!”
After implementing the Interstellar EDR solution, Bluekens Truck and Bus has seen a drastic decrease in vulnerability to cyber attacks. The system has successfully blocked multiple attempts at intrusion without disrupting daily operations.
“We constantly look at how we can better secure our ICT environment, because security remains a hot topic”, Karstanje indicates. “With managed EDR from SentinelOne, we combine all separate security techniques into one solution that goes beyond just a virus scanner or firewall. I can see an incredible amount in the dashboards. That’s what makes it so great, because a virus scanner alone doesn’t say anything. Managed EDR from Interstellar is a complete security solution. As a result, I no longer have to worry about protecting our ICT environment.”
The switch to Interstellar’s managed EDR solution has not only improved the security of Bluekens Truck and Bus but also their confidence in their ability to face future cyber threats. Plans for future expansion of this technology within their organization are already in development.
“We are well-supported and have fixed points of contact at our ICT partner. We are satisfied with Interstellar as a permanent party that advises and supports us in everything related to ICT”, Karstanje concludes.
