Case Study: Global IT Leader achieves secure Google Apps collaboration and sensitive-data protection with Netskope

Global IT Leader Enables Safe Collaboration with Google Apps and Netskope

A global high‑technology leader with more than 100,000 employees experienced rapid, grass‑roots adoption of Google Apps across the business. As IT assumed administration, security and audit teams lost visibility and control over large volumes of sensitive content in Google Drive—product roadmaps, IP, non‑public financials and other confidential data—and discovered departed users could still access files.

The company deployed Netskope for Google Apps to automatically discover, classify and enforce policies across the suite, identifying millions of files and remediating tens of thousands that matched confidential and PII profiles. By segmenting by sharing status and taking bulk actions (revoke public access, transfer ownership, encrypt, quarantine) and by discovering shadow‑IT apps for consolidation, IT moved to a continuous‑monitoring posture that reduced risk and enabled confident, organization‑wide use of Google Apps for sensitive collaboration.
