Searching for a Solution
- Recent developments in the technological world have caused growth in the number of applications at use in the work environment.
- This has coincided with an increase in entry points that cybercriminals can exploit for phishing and other malicious attacks.
- As attacks have become more and more sophisticated, they have become increasingly successful at gaining access to corporate assets, data, and networks.
- For example, data breaches exposed 4.1 billion records in the first half of 2019 alone.
- Fortunately for Tamice, their business development manager Han Lee was ahead of the curve in acknowledging this threat.
- Vigilance and security have perpetually featured as key values at Tamice and, consequently, various measures have remained in place to protect the company.
Tamice’s Preliminary Security Strategy
- Employees are given stringent training to ensure that there is a total understanding of how networks can be compromised and what can be done to keep them safe.
- By educating staff on how to identify threats and on who to contact to avoid a security breach, Tamice laid the foundations to build a secure network environment.
- To complement this, a strict code of conduct is in place to help in avoiding the occurrence of any ill-fated errors.
- This proved to be particularly valuable when employees began to use personal devices for work purposes, which could bring the risk of internal breaches or expose company information to external networks.
- The code of conduct also necessitated that all software should be updated regularly and standardized so that only company approved programs and applications would be permitted.
“We trialled a few different solutions, but none of them felt as reliable as AccessPatrol.
It was completely intuitive and had all of the functionalities we were looking for. Investing was a simple decision.”

USB Activity Reports Provide Essential Visibility Into Data Movement
- In order to ensure that no data leakage can “slip through the net”, Tamice routinely tracks AccessPatrol’s file transfer reports and alerts to proactively detect suspicious data movement.
- These reports and alerts provide full visibility of all of the USB activity on the network.
- Mr. Lee configured AccessPatrol to email these reports directly to his inbox on a regular basis, allowing him to keep a pulse on how his employees handle sensitive company data.
- As a travel agency, Tamice holds a high volume of personal information about their customers and, therefore, any attack would have a substantial number of victims.
- Thanks to AccessPatrol, Tamice was able to fulfill a critical gap in its data loss prevention and cybersecurity strategy.
