Case Study: Major Accounting Firm achieves rapid user-access audits and reduced breach risk with Trustwave AppDetectivePRO

Major Accounting Firm - Customer Case Study

Major Accounting Firm, a global accounting firm responsible for millions of confidential client records, faced growing internal risk from improper user privileges across databases that had expanded unsystematically. With insufficient in-house database expertise and industry-wide hiring challenges, the firm turned to Trustwave and its AppDetectivePRO product to address vulnerability management and user-rights auditing needs.

Trustwave deployed AppDetectivePRO to scan databases and big data stores for access-control flaws, misconfigurations, missing patches and privilege‑escalation risks. Using Trustwave’s tool the firm identified all users and privileges in a couple of hours versus the multiple days such audits normally require, avoided additional headcount and training costs, and gained executive-friendly dashboards and reports to prioritize remediation.
