About The Customer
The customer is a global ad agency headquartered in the western United States. The agency has large clients including Microsoft and Walmart. The agency was using an on-premise solution and was looking to migrate to Office 365 to cut costs and increase employee productivity. However, they faced challenges in terms of security concerns from their clients about their creative assets. They needed a solution that could provide single sign-on, mobile security, and access control.
The Challenge
The ad agency was looking to migrate from an on-premise solution to Office 365 to cut costs and increase employee productivity. However, some of the agency’s large clients, including Microsoft and Walmart, had concerns about the security of their creative assets. The agency needed to add another layer of security to their public cloud apps. They required solutions for single sign-on, mobile security, and access control. After evaluating several vendors, the agency determined that Bitglass was the only solution that met all their requirements.
The Solution
The agency chose Bitglass as it met all their requirements—a complete SSO solution, mobile security, API-scanning, DLP, and access control on both managed and unmanaged devices, all in a single integrated package. Bitglass enabled the agency to synchronize their directory via AD, and enforce SSO control on all cloud apps, including Office 365. Bitglass also featured API integration to monitor and control sensitive data in Office 365, and delivered contextual access control of the data—by user, by device, by geography, network location, and more. Users on managed devices were allowed full access to data while users on unmanaged devices had limited access to data. Bitglass ensured that users on unmanaged devices were not permitted to install client software that automatically syncs SharePoint and OneDrive data. Bitglass also delivered mobile security capabilities, requiring device pin and encryption, and enabling selective wipe without invading user privacy by installing agents on the user’s device.
