Case Study: Escorts Limited protects valuable IP and cuts false positives with Forcepoint DLP

Escorts Limited Manufacturing’s Valuable IP is Secured with Forcepoint DLP

Escorts Limited, a leading Indian engineering conglomerate with more than one million tractors in the field, 16,000 construction and material-handling units, and five million automotive components produced to date, faced the challenge of protecting extensive R&D‑generated IP—blueprints and designs for engines, transmissions and heavy equipment—plus jointly developed IP with global partners and sensitive data accessed by a largely mobile sales and marketing force.

To secure IP wherever it resides, Escorts implemented Forcepoint DLP to protect data‑at‑rest, in‑motion and in‑use across endpoints, servers, cloud and on‑premises systems, using an easy-to-deploy policy wizard. After fine‑tuning classification policies the company saw a drastic drop in false positives, and the project and the CIO leading it received awards for the implementation.
