Enhancing Data Leak Prevention and Regulatory Compliance in Financial Services

A leading financial institution struggled with limited visibility into sensitive document handling and the complexities of adhering to stringent regulatory mandates. They sought a solution to gain comprehensive oversight of document activity and fortify their defenses against both internal and external data security risks.

Enhancing Data Leak Prevention and Regulatory Compliance in Financial Services

Challenges

The institution grappled with a vast ecosystem of sensitive financial information, including customer records, transaction logs, and proprietary analytical models. Their existing infrastructure lacked the granular tracking capabilities needed to monitor how these critical documents were being accessed, modified, and shared across their diverse network of servers, applications, and endpoint devices. This lack of comprehensive visibility created significant hurdles in identifying potential data breaches, detecting malicious insider activity, and demonstrating adherence to crucial financial regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. Furthermore, the fragmented nature of security logs across disparate systems hampered effective threat detection and incident response efforts.

Solutions

To address these challenges, the financial institution deployed Fasoo Integrated Log Manager (FILM), centralizing the collection and analysis of document activity logs across their entire IT environment. Leveraging FILM’s Micro Log Block (MLB) technology, the institution achieved end-to-end lifecycle tracking for all sensitive documents, capturing every interaction from creation to archival. By seamlessly integrating log data from their existing security infrastructure, including Data Loss Prevention (DLP) systems, encryption solutions, and access control mechanisms, FILM provided a unified and comprehensive view of all security-relevant events. The platform’s advanced analytics engine enabled the institution to identify anomalous document usage patterns, monitor the consistent application of encryption policies, and track application access across various systems and web destinations. This centralized log management and intelligent analysis empowered their security team to proactively identify and effectively respond to potential security threats and regulatory compliance violations.
