Case Study: Kordia achieves greater protection and user freedom with Carbon Black CB Protection

Kordia Group Gains Greater Protection and Maintains

Kordia Group Ltd, an 850+ employee technology solutions provider operating across Australia and New Zealand, needed to balance developer and engineer freedom to install varied software with strong endpoint security and least‑privilege controls. To address this, Kordia turned to Carbon Black and deployed the CB Protection product to implement whitelisting and the ASD Top 4 principles without overly restricting users.

Carbon Black’s CB Protection provided a lightweight, low‑maintenance application control and privilege‑management solution that reduced the effort to install and maintain security while letting engineers install required tools quickly. The deployment cut the need for continual app approvals and reviews, improved operational efficiency, and delivered stronger endpoint protection across Kordia’s business — all with minimal ongoing administrative overhead.
