Case Study: a large university rapidly assesses breach exposure with Castlepoint Systems

Rapid response to a malicious data breach

Castlepoint Systems helped a large university respond to a malicious data breach after the institution discovered that a large amount of information had been exposed. The university urgently needed to understand its exposure, and Castlepoint was called on a Friday evening to provide immediate support.

Castlepoint Systems was implemented on the university’s network by Saturday afternoon, registering and analyzing thousands of systems and applying custom secrecy and records-retention rules to the exposed data. This enabled the university to identify the full scope of the breach, assess privacy and regulatory impacts, and inform its executive response and recovery; Castlepoint Systems was later expanded to support audit, discovery, and records compliance across 59,000 systems.
