Comprehensive Protection for a Digital World
In today’s digital landscape, cyber security is no longer optional—it’s critical. Attackers have become increasingly sophisticated in their attempts to steal sensitive data or infiltrate internal systems. Simultaneously, firms must also guard against internal threats from individuals who already have access to systems and databases.
Cyber security breaches can result in reputational damage, eroded customer trust, revenue loss, and more. It’s imperative for organizations to prioritize security at every stage of their technical solutions, ensuring robust protection against both internal and external risks.
While working for a publicly traded Fortune 100 company, Tony had privileged access to highly sensitive financial data, including revenue, costs, capital expenditures, and operating income. The stakes were high: this data needed to remain secure while enabling access across his team.
Tony developed tools with publicly accessible URLs to maximize ease of use. However, these tools incorporated robust authentication and authorization protocols to ensure that only authorized users could access the financial data. The result was a seamless balance of security and usability, protecting sensitive information while supporting operational efficiency.
Tony was tasked with building a forecasting model that required extremely sensitive personal information. Most team members were not permitted to access this data, and it was prohibited from being stored locally on any device.
To address these challenges, Tony set up a secure cloud environment with individualized user access. Data was partitioned so that only specific named individuals could access the most sensitive information, while others used anonymized or aggregated datasets. This approach ensured compliance with strict security protocols while enabling the broader team to work effectively with less sensitive data.
