Case Study: Milliken & Company achieves global endpoint risk reduction and least-privilege application control with CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager

Global manufacturer deploys Endpoint Privilege Manager to reduce risk on endpoints on 50 global sites

Milliken & Company, a 150‑year‑old global manufacturer with 7,000+ employees and operations across 50+ sites, faced rising risk to its intellectual property and data after an internal assessment revealed widespread local administrative rights on endpoints. The company needed a scalable, low‑friction solution to enforce least privilege and stronger application control without hindering employee productivity.

Milliken implemented CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager in a phased rollout across more than 5,000 endpoints in under six months, removing admin rights, applying “default deny” application control with trusted sources, and using reputation scoring to manage software on- and off-network. Results included a substantial drop in malware incidents (WannaCry blocked in sandbox testing), improved incident response visibility, increased endpoint stability, fewer help‑desk calls, and consistent global policy enforcement.
