Use case: tech
Built for fast-growing technology
You’re growing fast. Opportunities for an attack don’t have to.
Problem:
Internal and external threats to IP
A fast-growing technology firm specializing in AI faced increasing risks to its intellectual property (IP) and sensitive R&D data. Rapid expansion meant more users, devices, and data access points, intensifying the challenge of securing proprietary information. The need to protect against insider threats, cyber espionage, and phishing attacks was critical, but their existing security measures couldn’t scale effectively with the company’s growth, risking competitive advantage and compliance.
So what’s the solution?
The company implemented RiskyTrees to build a scalable security strategy that could adapt to their hyper-growth environment. Using attack trees, the security team mapped out high-risk areas, from unauthorized access to data leaks, and adjusted defenses based on dynamic risk factors as the company expanded. RiskyTrees identified the high ROI for endpoint protection integrations and multi-layered permissions settings, allowing them to restrict data access across teams, devices, and geographic locations as needed.
Outcomes of using RiskyTrees
Less incidents
The team used RiskyTrees to proactively address vulnerabilities across expanding systems and minimizing entry points for potential breaches. By implementing targeted access controls and continuous threat monitoring, they maintained a steady reduction in incidents despite the surge in users and devices.
Stronger data security
By leveraging RiskyTrees, they were able to scale their security strategy in lockstep with rapid growth. The platform’s adaptable attack tree modeling allowed the company to add new users, devices, and systems seamlessly without compromising security.
Stronger competitive edge
By proactively securing access points and increasing security visibility, the firm maintained robust data protection, met compliance standards, and preserved its competitive edge—all while supporting its rapid growth.
