Challenge	Khaitan & Co, one of India’s oldest and largest full-service law firms, is the appointed custodian of all its client data in digital format. This includes sensitive documents such as contracts, bonds, and stocks. The firm's survival depends on its ability to protect this client data from falling into unauthorized hands. However, with no security solution in place, the firm lacked visibility and control over its critical data. The data flow within the organization, as well as email accounts from external third parties, couldn’t be effectively monitored and guarded. Unchecked and unauthorized USB/flash devices, printers, and cloud applications also presented a major security risk. The firm needed a solution that could help identify potential sources and points of data loss, and secure them effectively without interrupting normal business operations. Read More
