Case Study: Western Union achieves accelerated secure cloud adoption and increased employee productivity with Skyhigh Networks

Western Union drives employee productivity and agility whille meeting stringent security and compliance requirements

Western Union, a global financial-services firm, needed to enable employee productivity without sacrificing security. Under its WISE (Western Union Information Security Enablement) program the team faced limited visibility into cloud services, a slow, manual process for vetting hundreds of apps, and the risk of blocking tools that employees found useful.

Western Union deployed Skyhigh Networks to discover cloud usage, provide just-in-time user education, and enforce policy via integrations with existing firewalls and Okta SSO. Within three months they selected enterprise cloud tools, dramatically reduced time and cost to vet services, cut help-desk tickets, accelerated secure cloud adoption, and lowered both operational costs and security risk.
