The Challenge
Pelephone Communications Ltd., a leading communications company in Israel, was facing a significant challenge in managing and securing its vast amount of customer and financial data. The company's Chief Security Officer, Yoni Elias, was keen on ensuring that all sensitive data was accessible only on a business need-to-know basis. To enhance Pelephone’s security posture and meet compliance requirements, the company needed granular visibility into file and folder permissions, easy and automated data ownership identification, scheduled and on-demand access audit reports, and real-time policies to alert on data usage that violated standard corporate practices. However, their existing data governance system, particularly the reporting and alerting capabilities, had significant drawbacks that were driving operational costs higher.
About The Customer
Pelephone Communications Ltd. is a pioneer in the communications industry in Israel. Founded in 1986, the company has received multiple awards for its innovation, customer service, and multimedia offerings. Nearly 3 million subscribers rely on Pelephone to communicate anytime, anywhere through a wide range of advanced communications, multimedia, and content services. As part of its internal business operations, Pelephone stores and processes a large amount of customer and financial data. This data must be safeguarded to meet security, privacy, and compliance objectives.
The Solution
Pelephone turned to Imperva SecureSphere File Activity Monitoring and User Rights Management to address its data security and management challenges. The solution provided internal controls for financial data, simplified compliance reporting, and improved data security. It offered automated reporting of data permissions, access activity, and permission changes to data owners. The system also provided real-time alerts for access that violated corporate policies. The solution was rapidly deployed to provide quick visibility into sensitive folder activities. This way, Pelephone was able to demonstrate business need-to-know access to financial data, determine data ownership, and provide clear, detailed reports and alerts for file access and activity violations.
