Zero Trust for Financial Services Provider
80% reduction in high-risk data exposures within 9 months
The Challenge
A mid-sized financial services provider struggled with fragmented identity and network security controls. Legacy VPN infrastructure created administrative overhead while failing to provide adequate visibility and control over data access.
With increasing regulatory scrutiny and sophisticated threat actors targeting financial services, the organization needed a modern security architecture that could protect sensitive customer data while enabling secure remote work and third-party integrations.
