Overview
For the world's largest hedge fund, a very large technology estate had to be tracked from intake to retirement, with the data on every device protected along the way. Iron Brick delivered asset tracking and lifecycle management, data security controls, and Carbon Black endpoint protection, giving the client one accurate record of every asset and better protection for the endpoints in service.
The challenge
- A very large number of devices had to be tracked individually across their whole lifecycle, from intake and deployment to retirement.
- Devices carry highly sensitive financial and investment data, so a lost or untracked asset was a security risk, not just an inventory gap.
- Endpoints in service needed consistent protection and visibility for the security team.
