Challenge	Afognak Native Corporation (Afognak) faced the challenge of needing a compliance solution that was both easy to maintain and cost-effective. The company required a robust system to detect threats and mitigate the risk of data theft.

About Customer	Afognak Native Corporation (Afognak) is an Alaska Native Corporation (ANC) formed under the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) and through the 1977 merger of two Alaska Native village corporations: Natives of Afognak, Inc. and Port Lions Native Corporation. Native corporation shareholders are those Alaska Natives who were alive on December 18, 1971, and have proven their lineage to the respective region and village. Congress termed ANC enrollees “shareholders,” although being an ANC shareholder is truly more comparable to a tribal membership – it is a lifetime enrollment that cannot be bought or sold. Alutiiq, LLC was formed in December 1999 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Afognak under ANCSA. Today, Afognak, Alutiiq, and their subsidiaries have nearly 5,000 employees in almost all 50 states, several territories and countries worldwide, and they provide a variety of services to the federal government.

It offered advanced threat detection and risk management features that were easy to implement and maintain. The platform's affordability was a significant factor, as it allowed Afognak to achieve high levels of security and compliance without incurring prohibitive costs. Read More Log in to view content
