Case Study: Mobile Knowledge achieves cost-effective, zero-day endpoint protection with BeyondTrust PowerBroker Endpoint Protection Platform

Mobile Knowledge Stretches Their Security Budget with PowerBroker Endpoint Protection Platform

Mobile Knowledge, an Ottawa-based provider of GPS and mobile data solutions for fleet management with over 150 customers and 50,000 installed terminals, needed to improve endpoint security without breaking the budget. The company sought stronger zero-day protection, unified privacy-focused defenses (instead of buying multiple segmented suites), and a solution that a small IT team could deploy and manage across mixed Windows workstations.

After lab testing, Mobile Knowledge deployed BeyondTrust’s PowerBroker Endpoint Protection Platform, which delivered broader protection (zero-day, intrusion prevention, removable storage control, centralized policy) for roughly the same price as their McAfee renewal and allowed multi-year licensing. PBEPP was quick to deploy, required no server, scaled to the company’s size, and successfully blocked real-world zero-day Flash exploits—giving better security, simpler administration, and significant cost savings.
