Challenge
As a Bank Standard Chartered handles very large volumes of sensitive information, including customers’ personal data. It has a duty of trust to its customers and other stakeholders, including financial market regulators, to maintain the security of all this information. The Bank decided it needed to add to its existing mature security mechanisms to protect data at end points and during its transfer across networks. This would provide the most robust protection against inadvertent data leaks, data breaches and risks associated with its large mobile workforce.

Solution
Workshare Protect

Results
While Standard Chartered had robust information security beforehand, now with Workshare Protect it will be managing risk at the most vulnerable point of a business – the user. Whether in the office or in the field, having security at the central level as well as the end-point means that the bank will be able to see where information is going and remind users when sensitive data is being used.
