Case Study: a multibillion-dollar global alternative investment firm eliminates malware threats with Siepe

Multibillion-dollar Global Alternative Investment Firm Eliminates Malware Threats

A multibillion-dollar global alternative investment firm faced a significant cybersecurity challenge, needing to eliminate the threat of malware from unsigned Excel macros across its network in order to comply with SEC OCIE recommendations. They partnered with vendor Siepe to address this primary vector for phishing attacks.

Siepe developed a custom tool for the firm that identified and enabled the mass-signing of trusted Excel macros while automatically blocking unauthorized ones. This solution successfully locked down the client's network, eliminated the threat from unsigned files, and provided an efficient process for maintaining compliance. As a result of this successful implementation, the client continues to leverage Siepe's IT infrastructure and platform capabilities.
