Case Study: a leading aviation company reduces stale data and security risk with Stealthbits

Leading Aviation Company - Customer Case Study

A leading aviation company with 40,000 users struggled to manage and remove stale data from its 3 petabyte environment across eight data centers. Their previous Data Access Governance solution was inefficient and failed to scale, making it a painful process to gather file information and enforce retention policies. They turned to Stealthbits for an automated, enterprise-scale solution to identify and remove unnecessary files, thereby reducing security and legal risk.

Stealthbits implemented a solution that scanned and analyzed every file according to the company's retention policies. The process included automatically soft-deleting files after end-user review and hard-deleting them after 90 days. To date, over 36 million files have been processed. Stealthbits' automated approach and responsive support successfully achieved what their competitor could not, allowing the customer to keep their environment clean and secure.
