Case Study: IBF Consulting achieves stronger data security and streamlined IT support with NetWrix

Improving Data Security and Expediting IT Support in a Private Equity Investment Firm

IBF Consulting, acting as the outsourced IT department for a private equity investment firm (75 users) in the banking and finance sector, needed to protect highly sensitive customer and financial data while automating hundreds of routine system administration tasks. Microsoft’s native tools didn’t meet their needs for clear reporting, endpoint control and file-server auditing, so they sought solutions to prevent unauthorized access, USB data exfiltration and to track file changes and service status.

IBF deployed NetWrix File Server Change Reporter, USB Blocker and Service Monitor—solutions they found affordable, easy to implement and well supported. The rollout was fast, and the tools delivered comprehensive change auditing, USB lockdown with device whitelisting and encryption, and service monitoring, which strengthened data security, sped troubleshooting, reduced day-to-day admin workload and delivered strong ROI.
