Case Study: Perrigo achieves 67% reduction in cloud risk and 80% drop in high-risk cloud service use with Skyhigh Networks (Skyhigh for Shadow IT)

Perrigo Gains visibility and control over shadow IT to reduce the risk of data loss while enabling cloud services for employess

Perrigo, a Top‑5 global pharmaceutical with about 8,500 employees across North America, Europe, Australia, Israel and China, faced growing shadow IT as cloud adoption increased. Traditional firewall and proxy categorization left gaps in visibility and inconsistent policy enforcement, creating a backlog of service requests and heightened risk of data loss and exfiltration.

Perrigo deployed Skyhigh for Shadow IT—leveraging the CloudTrust registry, user behavior analytics, and policy enforcement analytics—plus just‑in‑time coaching to steer users to approved services. The team uncovered over 2,000 cloud services, moved to risk‑based blocking, and cut high‑risk service use by more than 80% while reducing overall cloud risk posture by over 67%, improving productivity and earning positive executive feedback.
