Challenge	Stroock, a leading financial institution, was looking to enable cloud services like Microsoft Office 365 while ensuring sensitive data is protected. They were facing fragmented visibility and control across cloud and web, and there was a risk of sensitive data loss and noncompliance. The firm was also dealing with the complexity and added costs of deploying and managing separate and inconsistent Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to protect client data across web, cloud and networks. Their existing web proxy solution was not meeting the evolving requirements of their organization. With employees everywhere, users were going directly to the internet and bypassing their secure perimeter. Users were also accessing cloud services on personal and mobile devices, and, in addition to browsers, using native apps and sync clients. Their legacy web proxy tool was blind to most of this traffic. Read More
