About The Customer
This global law firm has over 1,100 professionals in offices across the United States, Europe, and Asia. The firm is considered a global leader across several industries and specializes in mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property, investment management, tax, and real estate, among other areas. Due to the nature of its business, this firm sought a solution that would enable key members of the organization to quickly and easily exchange sensitive information with the highest levels of security and privacy.
The Challenge
Due to the nature of the practice, it is of the utmost importance that the law firm’s most sensitive information be handled with only the highest degree of security. One the firm’s biggest challenges was that executives and external board members considered electronic communications too risky to use to transmit confidential information for board meetings. As a result, the executives and board members still relied on the physical distribution of paper and CDs. The process of using paper and CDs was overly cumbersome, prone to error and highly ineffective for sharing important information quickly. Additionally, the distribution of paper and CDs was a largely untrackable process, and there was a significant risk that these items could accidentally fall into the wrong hands. Jamie, the Manager of Information Security, recognized the many challenges and risks associated with the use of papers and CDs. As a result, he began to search for a highly secure solution that could safely enable the exchange of confidential information, offered granular access control and was able to track exactly who accessed what and when.
The Solution
After evaluating his options, Jamie selected CyberArk’s Sensitive Information Management Solution to enable executives and board members to exchange confidential information with the highest degree of security. Using CyberArk’s Sensitive Information Management Solution, executives and board members are now able to quickly and easily exchange highly confidential documents at their own discretion, and they are able to share this information with only the specific colleagues who need to see it. Thanks to the strong security controls, the executives and board members are now comfortable sharing these documents electronically through CyberArk’s solution. For oversight, the IT team has complete visibility into where the information is and who has accessed it, but the information itself remains secure from unauthorized eyes.

SET Creative Ditches Google Vault for Datto Backupify
When Kienholz first started at SET, the staff was using Microsoft Outlook for email with no form of data backup. It became apparent that something needed to change as the staff was often burdened with trying to recover emails from departed employees. Kienholz transitioned the team to Google’s Gmail and implemented Google Vault for backup purposes. While SET employees quickly adjusted to Gmail, which many use for personal email, the same could not be said for Google Vault. “Unlike most Google products, Vault was not user friendly at all. It’s very hard to search for items. We never really figured out how to do a restore either,” explained Kienholz. Due to SET’s work with high-profile brands, projects often go through many rounds of revisions right down to the eleventh hour. This means that every bit of information - especially data living in project managers’ emails - is crucial to delivering clients a polished design at deadline.

Ballistic Echo, a software development house, faced a critical challenge when human error led to the deletion of thousands of lines of unique code. This incident occurred before the code was pushed to source control, resulting in significant loss of time, revenue, and work. The previous file-level backup solution they used was slow and inefficient, making it nearly impossible to manually recreate the lost work. The need for a more reliable and efficient business continuity solution became evident to avoid such disasters in the future.

Pipeline Insight Case Study: YARCDATA
YarcData faced challenges in determining the conversion rates of prospects into customers through various marketing efforts and identifying the source of its leads. They wanted to know the percentage of opportunities in the sales pipeline that came from different marketing events, web downloads, or self-sourced sales opportunities. Additionally, they needed the ability to drill down into the data to guide where to allocate more marketing dollars based on the success of previous efforts. Previously, YarcData relied heavily on spreadsheets and Salesforce.com reports, which made it difficult to extract the exact information they needed. This reliance on spreadsheets represented about 70% of their data presentation.
