Case Study

Third Party Monitoring

Vendors, contractors, and partners can help support your business and create a strategic advantage. Yet, giving third parties access to confidential data and key systems drastically increases the risk of costly data breaches that impact your organization’s reputation.

Their Challenge: As a large telecommunications provider, it’s vital to know which of the organization’s privileged users and remote vendors are doing what at all times, both to guarantee security and to meet compliance. With thousands of sessions to track, this can quickly become a major headache.

ObserveIT’s Solution: ObserveIT provides enterprise-ready third-party monitoring, so organizations have detailed user metadata at their fingertips and can understand who did what, when, and why—including tracking the actions of third party vendors.

The Result: With more visibility and clearer answers to “what happened?” they have dramatically decreased insider threat risk from vendors and other third parties. The organization is also able to satisfy compliance audit requirements, decreasing time and resources spent on tedious tasks.

Meet & Exceed Compliance Requirements

Meeting compliance framework and law requirements is a complex and difficult task, but failing to do so can be incredibly costly and damaging to an organizations’ reputation.

Continuous user monitoring and real-time incident investigation help your organization meet stringent compliance requirements and ensure sensitive data stays where it belongs – within the organization.

Their Challenge: To meet compliance requirements, this large bank needed to monitor hundreds of IT users who are able to access and modify any critical banking application. They needed to comply with FDIC audits to operate legally.

ObserveIT’s Solution: ObserveIT’s detailed logs and visual capture of user session data exceed even the strictest interpretation of compliance requirements. With ObserveIT, this financial services organization is able to trace every compliance violation back to a single user.

The Result: With increased visibility into the activities of privileged IT users, this financial organization was able to comply with FDIC audit requirements and conduct audits five times faster than before.
