Case Study: Global Pharmaceutical Giant Company achieves early breach detection and limits damage with Bitglass

Global Pharmaceutical Giant Company - Customer Case Study

Global Pharmaceutical Giant Company, a worldwide pharmaceutical firm with over 20,000 employees, engaged Bitglass to checkpoint its security posture after a new CISO joined. Using the Bitglass Breach Discovery Engine and just four days of firewall logs, the customer sought to detect shadow IT, data exfiltration and hidden breaches despite having a high-end firewall in place.

Bitglass’ Breach Discovery Engine uncovered three major risks: an internal IP in sustained contact with a TOR node, twelve internal nodes contacting a fake DNS server hosting phishing sites, and more than thirty internal IPs reaching confirmed malware hosts. Bitglass delivered a Breach Discovery Report that prioritized compromised IPs by risk for rapid investigation, quarantine and remediation, enabling the company to uncover an ongoing breach early and limit further damage.
