Case Study: SouthStar Bank achieves stronger data security and lower costs with Egnyte

SouthStar Bank Takes Data Security and Control to New Heights

SouthStar Bank, a mid-sized financial services firm, needed a better way to manage highly sensitive financial records as its legacy on-premises file server with VPN access created collaboration bottlenecks, visibility gaps, and security risks. The bank also wanted a cloud-hosted solution that would improve access and sharing without disrupting users’ workflows. Egnyte was selected to help address these challenges.

Egnyte implemented a cloud-based content platform with Microsoft Office and Azure Active Directory integrations, giving SouthStar Bank better visibility into file locations, permissions, and unusual activity while enabling real-time co-editing and easier external sharing. The results were significant: SouthStar cut improperly located sensitive files from 20,000 to 0, reduced annual spend by $10,000 by eliminating redundant software, and streamlined access management for users and administrators.
