Case Study: Global Arms Manufacturing Company achieves secure BYOD access to corporate applications with Bitglass

Global Arms Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

Global Arms Manufacturing Company, a U.S.-headquartered global arms manufacturer, needed to secure BYOD access to corporate productivity applications while protecting highly sensitive data. The firm's previous MDM attempt proved unsuitable for diverse BYOD devices, costly to roll out globally, and prompted user pushback over privacy — leading the IT security team to search for an agentless SaaS alternative and select Bitglass.

Bitglass’ next‑gen CASB delivered an agentless solution with selective wipe, device encryption, login policy enforcement, geo‑fencing, DLP blocking/alerts and ActiveDirectory Sync. Deployment was rapid (the team enrolled half a dozen users within an hour), and after a couple of weeks of testing the firm adopted Bitglass; its per‑user pricing and zero‑software, zero‑touch model provided visibility and control for IT while preserving employee usability and privacy and avoiding the costs and friction of an MDM rollout.
