Case Study: Okta improves insider risk management and prevents data leaks with Mimecast Incydr

Okta Chooses Incydr Over CASB to Avoid Data Leak from Cloud File Sharing

Okta, a global enterprise software company, needed better visibility and control over data risk across a cloud-first workforce. As it migrated from Microsoft 365 to Google Suite, Okta’s security team wanted to monitor file usage and sharing, detect data exfiltration, and prevent sensitive files from being publicly shared or leaked. To address this, Okta evaluated data security options including CASB and DLP, and looked for a cloud-based solution with strong Mac support, seamless integration, and no productivity impact.

Mimecast implemented Incydr to meet Okta’s insider risk and data protection requirements through a fast, API-to-API integration with Okta’s cloud and email systems. The solution gave the security team visibility into file sharing and exfiltration across multiple vectors, helping inform policy decisions and improve insider risk posture. Mimecast helped Okta avoid data leaks while supporting collaboration and innovation, with the biggest measurable impact being no negative effect on employee devices or productivity.
