Case Study: Prestigious Northeast University discovers hidden sensitive data with StealthAUDIT from Stealthbits

Prestigious Northeast University - Customer Case Study

A prestigious university in the northeast US undertook a larger IT security initiative and needed to identify files containing sensitive data, such as social security numbers, across its network. They chose to deploy StealthAUDIT from vendor Stealthbits as their sensitive data discovery tool to meet this challenge.

The solution from Stealthbits immediately uncovered unexpected sensitive data, such as faculty tax returns on shared drives, revealing risky user behavior. The tool provided the security team with tangible data to start conversations with users about security, a capability they did not have before. Stealthbits' StealthAUDIT provided an excellent and cost-effective vehicle for performing the necessary remote scans, becoming a core tool for effectively managing their infrastructure.
