Case Study: National Department Store Chain detects and eliminates mobile app threats with Proofpoint Mobile Defense

National Department Store Chain - Customer Case Study

National Department Store Chain engaged Proofpoint when its new chief security officer wanted a complete view of mobile risks and to verify that the company’s mobile device security policy was actually working—particularly against mobile application threats.

A Proofpoint Mobile Defense assessment discovered malicious malware that had entered through a loophole allowing senior executives to bypass the policy and download apps at will. The retailer immediately updated its executive policy, removed the malware, and closed the gap to restore mobile security.
