CSA Enterprise User Council: Weathering the perfect storm: How moving to a cloud-first platform addressed one health plan provider’s data security challenges

In March of 2020, a US health plan provider experienced the“perfect storm” of challenges in their digital security transformation efforts:

• The workforce was catapulted into the cloud because of global shelter-in-place orders
• The primary resource responsible for implementing the newly purchased data protection platform left the organization
• Their incumbent technology vendors were not meeting business-critical technology requirements
• They had a fast-approaching May deadline looming to rollout endpoints to their entire user community

Cloudrise was brought to the table to help enable the customer to weather this and future storms. Over the next three months, Cloudrise implemented Netskope, deployed endpoint agents to 4,500+ users, performed integrations to key APIs, and automated manual processes. Key takeaways from this conversation include:

• How to consolidate technology vendors, reduce costs, and optimize efficiencies
• How implementing, automating, and operationalizing the customer’s data protection program enabled them to focus on what their users are doing, where the data is flowing, and ultimately protect their business
• Why automating operational processes across data protection solutions, business applications, and visualization tools, enables policy optimization, enhanced reporting, and faster incident response
