Sainsbury’s, a leading UK retailer, faced several challenges in its tech security department. The company operates in a 'cloud first' environment, which is crucial for scalability during peak seasons. However, this approach led to incomplete visibility of cloud services, risk of sensitive data loss and non-compliance, restricted Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capabilities, exposure to threats, and lack of consistent policy enforcement. The company needed to ensure visibility across a complex web of cloud services used both internally and with partners. The Data Protection Officer role within Sainsbury’s Data Governance team relied on the insight and controls that the Security team owns. The company handles a lot of data, governed by a range of regulations, making strict adherence to best practice for data governance critical.

Ather Energy, a company that designs, manufactures, and markets smart electric scooters and charging infrastructure, faced several challenges. They lacked visibility into their public cloud infrastructure use across the organization, which made it difficult to maintain continuous compliance. The risk of misconfigurations could lead to the exposure of sensitive data. Additionally, they lacked the skilled resources to manage multiple cloud infrastructure services. As Ather's business relies on multiple public clouds and cloud services, they needed a single view into their entire environment to speed resolution when issues arise, and to gain the insights they need to address potential problems before they have any impact.

The City of San Diego’s IT network consists of 24 different networks, has 40,000 endpoints, 11,000 employees, and integrates with 4,000 different third-party services, including the FBI, INTERPOL, Sheriff’s Department, Fire Department, surrounding municipalities, and more. As a port city and home to several military bases including Naval Base San Diego, the principal homeport of the Pacific Fleet, San Diego is a natural target for cybercrime. The city receives between 800,000 and 1 million threats per day. The city needed to understand cloud usage and risk of cloud services, manage costly bandwidth usage associated with large backups, and safely deploy sanctioned cloud services such as Office 365. They also needed to secure sensitive data and protect against cloud-based threats.
