Case Study: Certinia achieves protection of critical IP and customer data from departing employees and third parties with Mimecast Incydr

Certinia Protects Data from Departing Employees and Third Parties

Certinia, a 1,000‑employee provider of customer-centric business applications on the Salesforce platform, identified insider risk—particularly data exfiltration by departing employees, competitors, and third parties—as its top security concern. An annual executive risk assessment showed crown‑jewel assets like source code, IP, and customer data were at high risk, and the security team needed faster detection and response without increasing alert fatigue.

Certinia deployed Mimecast Incydr to gain continuous visibility, use Insider Risk Indicators (IRIs) for prioritization, and integrate alerts into Slack, ADP and Splunk for automated triage and a unified risk‑scoring engine. The result: quicker, more focused incident response, reduced manual alert handling, automated protections during employee departures, and a clearer, organization‑wide view of insider risk that helps secure critical data and streamline remediation.
