Case Study: Dropbox achieves DLP compatibility for cloud data protection with Apriorit

Dropbox enables advanced DLP compatibility with Apriorit in 1-2 weeks

The customer Dropbox faced the challenge of integrating their DLP solution with the Dropbox application to protect sensitive corporate data from being transferred to the public cloud without blocking the application's legitimate use. The closed nature of the application's processes and protocols made this a difficult task. To address this, they engaged the vendor Apriorit and utilized its reverse engineering service.

Apriorit researched the Dropbox client's internals, network traffic, and file system interactions. The vendor's solution was to apply legal reverse engineering techniques to build a prototype that could successfully intercept, analyze, and manage all necessary Dropbox file, folder, and network operations, thereby achieving advanced compatibility for the customer's DLP system.
