Case Study
FTI Consulting

The primary challenge for FTI Consulting was to ensure data security in the new working conditions and requirements resulting from the pandemic. The company was looking to adopt a new Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution that helps to monitor employee activity related to data transfers and mitigates insider threats while working remotely.

The tool they were looking for would help to ensure compliance with data security standards, including ISO27001 and ISO27017.

FTI Consulting has been ISO27001 and 27017 certified for almost 10 years and therefore has very specific compliance requirements. The way that they work has rapidly transformed since the pandemic, and working from home has become the norm with the inevitable introduction of remote collaboration and conferencing tools that also introduce new risks to any business. FTI Consulting had to ensure data-centric security/compliance across different platforms, particularly app-specific granular DLP control.

The company was also looking for an additional layer of security to prevent data loss and data leaks.

FTI Consulting chose Endpoint Protector by CoSoSys for its Device Control for USB and peripheral port control and its Content Aware Protection for monitoring data in motion.

Device Control allows granular control of the USB ports and connected storage devices. It prevents accidental or intentional data loss and data leaks while also protecting the endpoints against the spread of USB malware, BadUSB attacks, and viruses. Content Aware Protection helps companies scan and protect data in motion with content inspection and contextual scanning of data. This prevents data leakage and data loss through various exit points, including web browsers, email clients, and applications such as Microsoft Outlook or Dropbox.

For FTI Consulting, it was important to choose a DLP solution that is easy to deploy and use.

FTI Consulting rated Endpoint Protector’s features as very good. The solution’s granularity, ease of installation and ease of use, staff availability when calling or asking for assistance, support, and updates were rated as excellent.

FTI Consulting chose Endpoint Protector because it helps address multiple DLP challenges, such as remote data protection, insider threat management, data-centric security, and compliance.
