Case Study: Lyft achieves full cloud data visibility and stronger insider risk management with Mimecast Incydr

Lyft Uses Incydr to “Take the Blinders Off” of High-Value Data Movement

Lyft, the transportation company, was struggling with major data visibility blind spots as it grew, especially in cloud tools like Google Drive. Despite existing security investments, Lyft’s security team could not easily see how critical data was moving or how large its Google Drive footprint was, creating risk ahead of its IPO preparations. Mimecast helped Lyft with Incydr to address these insider risk and data protection challenges.

Mimecast’s Incydr gave Lyft instant visibility into data activity across the cloud, from individual file actions in Slack to folder sharing in Google Drive and activity across its remote workforce. The result was a dramatic shift from “complete blindness” to a reliable source of truth for daily monitoring, helping Lyft focus on its biggest data risks and supporting its 2019 IPO readiness.
