The client wanted to ensure that it was an effective custodian of its customers’ security by protecting its critical infrastructure from ransomware and other threats. Failure to act could lead to a catastrophic breach, resulting in lost customer trust, lower revenue, and a decreased brand perception.

Solution

The client evaluated and deployed the QOMPLX Identity Assurance solution. The QOMPLX software was tested and evaluated by both the client’s security team and data privacy groups.
