Global Law Firm Deploys CyberArk’s Sensitive Information Management Solution to Control and Track Access to the Protected Files

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.
