Case Study: Top-20 Global Financial Institution achieves comprehensive visibility and protection of sensitive customer data with Fortra's Digital Guardian Network DLP

Global Financial Institution - Customer Case Study

A top-20 global financial institution’s wholesale banking division — with ~52,000 employees and offices in 25 countries — struggled to control and track sensitive corporate and customer financial data across international offices. Limited visibility into data flows, regulatory compliance requirements, and a lean security team made it difficult to know where sensitive data lived and how it was being shared, although the bank already had a strong data classification program to build on.

The bank deployed Fortra’s Digital Guardian Network DLP appliances, which were rapidly installed and integrated with the existing classification system to reduce false positives and minimize operational overhead. The solution delivered immediate visibility into global data flows, enabled policy adjustments, secured partner communications, validated and refined controls, and helped prevent customer information from being exposed on websites or sent via unsecured channels while supporting regulatory compliance.
