Challenge	The Disabilities Trust, a UK-based charity, was facing significant insider threats and the growing risk of ransomware attacks. It needed a total overhaul of its web and cloud application security to protect staff and patients alike. The organization's user activity and privacy controls needed significant attention. The biggest threat was the insider threat – inside out, not outside in. Whether that’s leavers exfiltrating the organization's IP or confidential patient information being unwittingly shared on public forums, the impact could be critical – both reputationally, and for the people they support.

About Customer	The Disabilities Trust is a charity working alongside people with an acquired brain injury to help them live as independently as possible. Their dedicated teams of specialists work closely with each person with a brain injury to understand what they want and why, and shape treatment. It’s the largest not-for-profit brain injury service provider in the UK, and its services support around 750 people each year. Its work is crucial – and with its focus on frontline care and its contact with vulnerable adults – the impact of a data breach could be devastating. Read More
Solution	To meet these requirements, The Disabilities Trust decided to implement a Security as a Service approach. They wanted something effective and easy to deploy that would work straight out of the box. They ran a demo, and within 20 minutes they had pushed the agent to the desktop with rule-based criteria and were applying standard rules. Within an hour they could start blocking risky web and cloud app activity: the account was up and running almost immediately. Censornet’s integrated platform gives Graham’s team access to granular, user-friendly reports, which enable them to evaluate their complete environment, deeply understanding infrastructure and uncovering gaps in their protection.
