Challenge	Perrigo, a global pharmaceutical company, was facing challenges with its existing procedures which led to inconsistent cloud security policy enforcement and created risk of data exfiltration. The backlog of cloud service approval requests from employees inhibited productivity. The lack of visibility into cloud service providers in use prohibited proactive cloud enablement. The company needed granular visibility into what their users were doing and the ability to provide policy controls for different business units. They needed to gain complete visibility into cloud usage, proactively block high-risk services, and increase detection of high-risk behavioral anomalies. Read More
About Customer	Perrigo is a Top 5 global pharmaceutical company, serving North America, Europe, Australia, Israel and China. The company is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland and has an annual revenue of $3.5 billion. As a global organization with over 8,500 employees, it is imperative that IT has a handle on the flow of information both into and out of the company. With increasing utilization of cloud services, gaining a thorough understanding of cloud usage is critical to this endeavor. Read More
Solution	To address these challenges, Perrigo implemented Skyhigh for Shadow IT, which provided them with the visibility and control they needed to fully understand and secure their cloud data flows. They switched from blocking services based on their category to blocking services based on risk, utilizing Skyhigh’s CloudTrust™ registry, which features detailed risk scores derived from more than 65 attributes using a framework developed in conjunction with the Cloud Security Alliance. Perrigo also accelerated their evaluation process for new services requested by users using Skyhigh’s CloudTrust™ registry. By leveraging Skyhigh’s user behavior analytics, Perrigo was able to identify anomalies in user behavior that indicate a potential data exfiltration incident or compromised account.
