Bulletproof 365E Case Study

Mining technology has evolved substantially in the last decade enabling new efficiencies for the industry. But Trevali’s rapid growth from small-scale to enterprise resulted in an IT environment without the appropriate scale and adaptability to meet their modern business needs. Business transformation and continuing growth would not happen without key enablement from IT.

Cyberthreats, specifically spear-phishing, had grown into a significant risk issue with very targeted attacks taking place. A significant security breach would likely have a widescale impact on the business. As a publicly traded company, proactive due-diligence to protect Trevali was critical. With an IT infrastructure that lacked modern security technology and controls, Trevali faced gaps that left them vulnerable.

Trevali’s current infrastructure was experiencing issues with downtime and long recovery times due to immature solutions and little to no resiliency in place. These challenges impacted the efficiency of day-to-day operations, costing Trevali time and money. In a competitive global industry, this put them at a disadvantage.

Trevali recognized the need to modernize and stabilize their IT infrastructure, but like many large and growing organizations, the capacity of their internal IT team to manage the transformation, and the specialized cybersecurity expertise to implement and monitor enterprise level security were both challenges. In addition, the cost of purchasing the advanced technology and security tools required presented a budget challenge. Trevali needed a solution that overcame those barriers.

Bulletproof worked on-site at Trevali to complete the configuration and rollout. With Bulletproof 365 Enterprise in place, Trevali has a modern and reliable solution that:

• Provides an enhanced level of visibility into gaps/risks with the existing IT infrastructure – allowing them to be mitigated before they become an issue.
• Better equips end-users to deal with targeted spear phishing attacks in the event they are able to get past new controls implemented. 
• Provides peace of mind and confidence that, if something does go wrong, the 24x7 monitoring and alerting will detect and mitigate before it becomes a major issue.
