Case Study: Jabil achieves business-wide data visibility and IP protection with Fortra's Digital Guardian Managed Service

Jabil Gains Business Wide Data Visibility and IP Protection in less than 120 Days

Jabil, a Fortune 200 electronics manufacturing and supply-chain company with 180,000 employees across 90 plants, faced urgent data protection gaps after rapid growth. The security team found 52,000 workstations inadequately protected, with high risk of customer IP leakage and NDA violations, limited headcount to accelerate security maturity, and no standardized data protection processes across regional operations.

Jabil engaged Fortra’s Digital Guardian Managed Service, deploying a pilot and then rolling out agents across the estate in under three months. The service delivered immediate visibility into data movement, enabled business-unit-led classification and tiered controls, enforced encryption and registered external storage, and provided 24/7 administration—resulting in faster time-to-value, stronger IP protection, and security as a competitive advantage.
