Mobile app management takes bank’s data loss protection to the next level

Find out how a leading banking corporation kept their data secure and allowed employees to work on personal devices without burdensome program enrollment or intrusive device control.

Challenge

Through an evaluation of their own data loss prevention strategy, a large midwest banking corporation discovered the need for a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) program and a way to securely manage corporate data on personal devices. The company needed to control access and security for their corporate applications and minimize their oversight of the personal device itself.

Focused on keeping their clients’ sensitive banking information secure and maintaining compliance with industry regulations, this bank looked for a solution that would meet their specific needs without overhauling their infrastructure or straining their budget.

Solution

This bank partnered with our Fusion team to implement a comprehensive data loss prevention strategy. After completing a security assessment, we provided them with business cases and a roadmap to implement Microsoft Intune’s mobile application management without enrollment solution.

This solution allows them to manage any application that contains sensitive corporate data on almost any device, including employees’ personal devices being used for work. Intune MAM-WE also allows this bank to manage application protection policies to ensure corporate data is protected within the application and not accessed by or shared with any unauthorized person or program.

Outcomes

Opting for a MAM-WE solution allows them to maintain control over their data without requiring each personal device to be enrolled. Not only does this save time and resources, but it also provides the flexibility to control corporate data within their applications on non-employee (e.g., contractors’) devices.
