Case Study: Discovery, Inc. achieves fast SOX compliance and unified cloud data visibility with Imperva Sonar

Discovery Inc. tackles data compliance in public cloud with Imperva Data Protection

Discovery, Inc., a global leader in non-fiction entertainment, needed to secure and audit large volumes of customer and corporate data while migrating to cloud-native infrastructure amid a merger and personnel changes. They lacked unified visibility across on-premises and cloud data, faced a tight SOX compliance deadline, and were maintaining a time-consuming custom Python solution to ingest and analyze cloud transactions.

To solve this, Discovery deployed Imperva SecureSphere and the Sonar platform with support from GuidePoint Security, gaining a single-pane view of on-prem and cloud databases. Sonar replaced the custom script, sped SOX compliance in AWS, reduced operational effort, delivered the expected ROI, and positioned the company to scale a more mature data-security program.
