Case Study: DIRECTV achieves secure, compliant cloud adoption with Skyhigh Networks

DIRECTV Enforces Security and Compliance Policies Across Cloud Services that Improve Productivity and Reduce Time to Market

DIRECTV, the El Segundo–based media and entertainment company serving over 38 million subscribers, faced limited visibility into hundreds of cloud services used by employees, a slow manual process for assessing service risk, and the need to meet privacy, security and compliance requirements across its organization.

Working with Trace3, DIRECTV deployed Skyhigh for Shadow IT and Skyhigh for Box, gaining near-immediate visibility, automated risk ratings and detailed usage analytics. The solution enabled encryption and cloud DLP, secure mobile access, faster, data-driven decisions about services, reclaimed time from manual log analysis, and accelerated safe cloud adoption while reducing costs and improving compliance.
