Case Study: Large Manufacturing Company achieves 24x7 data security and reduced overhead with Fortra

Manufacturing Company Gains 24x7 Data Security Expertise While Reducing Overhead

A global manufacturing leader with more than 25,000 employees across 250+ locations in 40 countries needed to better protect growing volumes of intellectual property across hydropower, paper, steel and biofuel operations. With a small security team, a complex IT environment, strict Works Council/GDPR requirements and risk from sophisticated competitors (including nation-state actors), their existing data protection tools were underutilized and staffing more security expertise was not feasible.

The company moved from an on-premises deployment to Digital Guardian’s managed security service, pointing agents to cloud-managed servers and adding Endpoint Detection and Response using the same agent. Digital Guardian provided 24x7 monitoring, threat hunting and policy/agent management, freeing internal staff for strategic work, extending protection to ~24,000 endpoints and servers, improving compliance and privacy controls, and delivering faster time-to-value and cost savings.
