Case Study: High-Technology Manufacturer Company achieves safe Google Apps adoption and sensitive-data protection with Netskope

High-Technology Manufacturer Enables Safe Collaboration With Google Apps And Netskope

The customer is a global high‑tech manufacturer of components for mobile, gaming and supercomputing with 10,000+ employees. As the company moved from discouraging cloud apps to enabling them, IT needed to sanction Google Apps for Work while protecting sensitive IP in Google Drive, reporting cloud risk to executives and the board, and consolidating redundant, unsanctioned apps across the organization.

Using Netskope for Google Apps the team created custom DLP profiles to discover and classify sensitive content, identify owners and sharing status, restrict access and export files for legal review, and notify content owners. They also discovered and assessed shadow‑IT apps to drive consolidation. The effort remediated thousands of sensitive files, put Google Apps into a safe, maintainable “trust but verify” mode, enabled board‑level reporting, and reduced cost, complexity and risk.
