Case Study: First United Bank secures mobile file sharing and collaboration with FileCloud

First United Bank secures mobile file sharing for 300 employees with FileCloud

First United Bank, a regional bank in West Texas, sought a secure file synchronization and sharing solution for its 300 employees and board members. The challenge was to move away from insecure email attachments and enable mobile access to confidential documents while maintaining strict control over data, ensuring compliance, and integrating with existing IT infrastructure like Active Directory. They turned to vendor FileCloud for its enterprise file sharing service.

The FileCloud solution was integrated directly into the bank's existing systems without moving data or reconfiguring permissions. This provided secure, auditable mobile access to files from iPads and Android devices. Sean Rich, Vice President & Senior Network Engineer, stated that FileCloud has been "a big hit," successfully allowing executives and board members to access confidential data remotely. The deployment provided the necessary tools for compliance and laid a foundation for future enhancements to the user experience.
