Users accessing sensitive company data from their own devices posed a data security risk.

In some cases, users could also use devices used by other departments, exposing access to sensitive information from finance and R&D, for example.

This risk was compounded by the fact that users in several teams were not restricted to a single computer assigned to them.

The organization also ran security audits which flagged the lack of measures to ensure that users could access applications and data only through company-owned devices.

Each user was allowed to make use of any of the computers available at the office to improve operational flexibility, but this made security and transparency more challenging.

With a team strength of over 2500 employees spread across 42 office locations, implementing a single solution to address the range of challenges was proving difficult.
