DLPbox Empowered an Eminent Indian Architect as a Mission Critical Device for his Enterprise
DLPbox resolved issues related to data leakage, data loss prevention, data theft, and ransomware associated with the client’s previous infrastructure.
About Client:
The client is an accomplished Indian architect who has clients across the globe and who is a DLPbox customer. The client employs world-class talent, and they create intellectual assets like original designs, drawings, concepts, and research reports.
Executive Summary:
The client creates intellectual assets like original designs, drawings, concepts, and research reports. Their intellectual assets were in physical form, and until they came across DLPbox , the client was always advised to procure certain IT components that could store their digital assets. The client invested in a File Server of very high quality and spent huge amounts of money on Microsoft Licensing.
However, the client lost very critical drawings which could never be recovered. The client defaulted on the deadline, and the reworked cost was significant. He was given the reason that although they purchased an expensive file server, his employee saved data on his desktop only. That desktop crashed, and they lost data despite investment in a file server, which was never used by the employee.
The employee further gave the explanation that their files are very large and their file server was not good enough to facilitate data storage on the network in a real-time manner. He could not concentrate on his work as every time he hit save, he had to wait, and many a time, his files got corrupted while being saved on the network. After spending a lot of money, the client was still dependent on the employee’s discretion to use the device, and due to certain genuine limitations, his employees were not using the hardware.
When the DLPbox sales representative connected with the client, the client was impressed with the feature of DLPbox known as forced centralization, which forces the user to save data in a central location. Further, the client had a problem with large files that were difficult to store over the network. DLPbox even has a solution to this problem, as it is empowered by SSD caching and link aggregation, which completely enhances the user’s experience while working on a network.
The client was able to see a reliable, sensible, and sincere approach toward Data Loss Prevention with DLPbox . Along with that, the sales executive explained the active recycle bin, which can instantly recover deleted data. He also explained the vault and workspace, which answered the client’s concern over the ransomware situation. The sales executive even explained the data center disaster response solution, which answered the client’s concern over disaster-induced Data Loss.
As one of the key outcomes of this engagement, the DLPbox team understood the client’s requirements and configured the product as a tailored solution rather than a stiff product. This further assured the safety of invaluable digital assets and assisted with Data Loss Prevention, Data Leakage, or Data Theft, which can affect the client competitively.
Challenges Faced By The Client:
The client used to preserve his assets physically, and he was nervous when these physical assets were disappearing as digital assets were coming around. He was worried about what would happen if his digital assets were deleted or left unusable by ransomware or destroyed due to the loss of hardware to a disaster.
So the client invested in a File Server of very high quality and spent huge money on Microsoft Licensing. But he still faced data loss issues and even lost very critical drawings which could never be recovered. The client defaulted on the deadline, and the reworked cost was significant. Though his company purchased a file server, his employees used to save data on their desktops only.
The client was worried about these multi-faceted problems and was not able to focus on his core business. His primary concern was related to data leakage, data loss prevention, and data theft, which can negatively affect his current infrastructure as well as distress him on competitive grounds. The expensive firewall never protected the client’s data against possible theft or leakage by his internal employees. The employees could easily attach the client’s digital assets over email, could take it on a USB drive, or could simply upload to cloud storage and could further use it for unethical practices.
How DLPbox Assisted the Client:
The DLPbox team understood the client’s requirements and configured the product as a tailored solution. The team implemented tight controls on USB and vigilance on Emails and Internet sessions of users, which has made it almost impossible to leak or steal data. DLPbox even resolved the difficulty of storing large files over the network as the DLPbox is already empowered by SSD caching and link aggregation, which enhances the user’s experience while working on the network. Also, the DLPbox product has evidence creation capabilities like screen capture, file operations logs, email despatch reports, BCC controls, and Happy Hours data isolation, which helped in enabling the client.
DLPbox ox also assisted the client with an active recycle bin, which can instantly recover deleted data. The vault and workspace helped resolve the client’s concern over the ransomware situation. Further, the data center disaster response solution answered his concern over disaster-induced Data Loss.
His issues related to the de-duplication of data, setting up of user’s permissions as needed till the file levels as well as the reports on backup health and integrity were facilitated by the DLPbox technology team. This assured the safety of invaluable digital assets and helped with Data Loss Prevention, Data Leakage, or Data Theft, which can affect the client competitively.
