Case Study: Pokémon achieves secure collaboration and protects PII and intellectual property with Fortra

Pokémon Leverages Vera's Platform to Secure Intellectual Property and Personal Information

Pokémon, buoyed by the runaway success of Pokémon GO, faced a surge of user PII while also needing to protect valuable intellectual property across TV, games and merchandising. The security team had to enable large-scale, cross-company collaboration with external partners and cloud apps without slowing creative workflows or locking down employee access.

Pokémon deployed Fortra’s Digital Guardian Secure Collaboration to automate document-level AES-256 encryption, integrate with SharePoint, Dropbox and other cloud tools, and provide always-on file protection, audit logs and policy-driven access controls. The solution transparently protected PII and IP, preserved existing collaboration workflows, improved visibility and compliance, and allowed teams to work faster with confidence that sensitive content remained secure.
