Talion Protects Major Manufacturer from Employee Data Exfiltration

Problem Area

A global manufacturing organisation, headquartered in the UK, had highly confidential intellectual property accessible by employees, posing a significant business risk.

The Challenge

The company did not have a process in place to ensure employees leaving the organisation were not able to steal confidential information and share it with their next employer and/or competition.

How We Helped

Talion implemented Enhanced User Monitoring to understand the conduct of employees who had resigned, or been let go, from the business. This allowed the client to understand the risks posed by employees who no longer had a vested interest in the business.

Outcome/Benefits

Talion identified an employee attempting to exfiltrate 1904 sensitive documents to a personal email account in 30 minutes. The monitoring service immediately raised an incident to HR and provided the evidence for them to take action. The client was able to track the deletion of this information from external sources and validate that it had not been shared further.
