Case Study: Alvarez and Marsal Automates Account Takeover Prevention with SpyCloud Active Directory Guardian

Alvarez and Marsal - Customer Case Study

Alvarez & Marsal, a global professional services firm with more than 6,000 employees across 54 offices, needed a better way to prevent account takeover while managing global compliance requirements like GDPR and CCPA. With employees and service providers spread worldwide, the company faced ongoing risk from password reuse and compromised credentials, making manual monitoring impractical. SpyCloud’s Active Directory Guardian was used to help address this challenge.

SpyCloud Active Directory Guardian scans Alvarez & Marsal’s user accounts multiple times per day against billions of compromised credentials, automatically flagging exposed passwords and forcing resets when needed. The solution helped the company reduce account takeover risk, strengthen audit and compliance readiness, support MFA adoption, and improve its cyber insurance posture. According to Alvarez & Marsal, SpyCloud has helped them maintain a strong security stance and contributed to their never having experienced a breach.
