Case Study: Endangered Wildlife Trust strengthens wildlife data and collaboration security with WithSecure

Why is cyber security crucial to saving endangered animals

The Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT), a non-profit wildlife conservation organization, faced the challenge of securing highly sensitive data on species and human stakeholders against increasing cyber threats as it expanded its digital and technological footprint across Africa. To protect its critical work from breaches, phishing, and scams, the EWT required a robust security solution and partnered with WithSecure, implementing their Elements Collaboration Protection service.

WithSecure provided a centralized security solution that included protecting SharePoint activities and offering essential support. The results included a significantly reduced attack surface and the ability for EWT's small IT team to manage all security aspects from a single pane of glass. The long-term partnership, built on trust and relevance, has allowed WithSecure to support the EWT's mission for over a decade, ensuring their data and systems remain secure as they innovate.
