Case Study: a largest IT outsourcing and consulting company strengthens third-party security with Fyde

The recent breach of India-based outsourcing giant Wipro has proved that insecure third-party firms can be a conduit for compromise of their clients and partners

A major IT outsourcing and consulting company faced the significant challenge of third-party security risks, as illustrated by the Wipro breach. Their reliance on traditional site-to-site VPNs for vendor access left their network exposed to lateral movement from attackers who compromised their partners. The company needed a way to mitigate this risk without disrupting its crucial outsourcing relationships and turned to Fyde for a solution.

Fyde implemented its software-defined remote access and security solution to replace the insecure VPN setup. The Fyde solution provides application-centric segmentation, granting least-privileged access to third parties and enabling continuous monitoring of all access requests. This approach prevented full network exposure, strengthened the company's supply chain security, and protected them from potential phishing and account takeover attacks originating from their vendors.
