Case Study: Global Cosmetics Company achieves proactive IP protection and repeatable remote endpoint incident response with Exterro

How a global cosmetics company keeps its beauty secrets safe with Exterro tools

A global cosmetics manufacturer with more than 40,000 employees in a highly competitive $500+ billion industry needed to protect proprietary formulations and product roadmaps. Lacking a formal incident response process, the company handled investigations ad hoc, which caused delays, higher costs, and increased risk from internal data breaches.

The company deployed FTK Enterprise and AD eDiscovery to enable remote, forensically sound collections across 40,000+ endpoints, mass-deploy agents to preview and target live data, and run a repeatable, court-defensible e‑discovery workflow with scalable processing. The result: accelerated incident response, reduced outsourcing and IT dependence, active legal participation in investigations, and stronger compliance that lowers future IP risk.
