Case Study: University of Oklahoma remediates 1,000 exposed email accounts in less than 24 hours with SpyCloud

The University of Oklahoma remediates 1,000 exposed email accounts in less than 24 hours with SpyCloud

The University of Oklahoma, with over 80,000 active accounts, faced constant risk from exposed student and faculty credentials. Lacking internal tools and resources, they struggled to identify accounts compromised in third-party breaches. To address this, they turned to SpyCloud for its operationalized exposure data and user-friendly API.

By integrating the SpyCloud API with their internal SOAR platform, OU automated the process of checking exposed credentials against their Active Directory. This solution, aided by scripts developed by student employees, enabled them to rapidly identify and remediate threats. With SpyCloud, they checked 7,000 exposed emails in under 30 minutes, securing 1,000 at-risk accounts in less than 24 hours, dramatically improving their security posture.
