Case Study
Alloy

Alloy, a leading provider of risk management and compliance solutions for banks and fintech, faced a critical data security challenge. The company needed a data loss prevention (DLP) solution to prevent the exfiltration of sensitive data, including Social Security Numbers, tax IDs, and other client data. It was imperative for Alloy to protect data from both insider threats and accidental loss through endpoints and USB media.

The company lacked visibility into data transfer activities, including email, printing, and removable media, and wanted to ensure that data is protected at the endpoint. The DLP solution needed to provide clarity into user actions, and facilitate the creation and enforcement of policies to safeguard against internal data breaches.

To address these concerns, Alloy turned to Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys. They embarked on a comprehensive implementation strategy that included establishing policies to enhance visibility into user activities, monitor data transfers, and detect specific keywords and sensitive data. In addition, the company implemented stringent controls such as USB port blocking to stop unauthorized data exfiltration.

Alloy is using Endpoint Protector’s Device Control, Content Aware Protection, and Enforced Encryption capabilities in a mixed environment (and Windows) to help keep data secure at the endpoint, and support remediation actions.

One standout feature that played a pivotal role in their decision was the Content Aware Protection functionality. Using content inspection and contextual scanning of data, this provided Alloy with detailed logs and the capability to closely monitor for sensitive data, and manage data flow, significantly bolstering their data security efforts.
