Effective threat remediation

Keep sharing, responsibly

“

One of the nice things with BetterCloud is the visibility to see how many files are shared publicly and who owns these files. What we discovered was that a lot of people who had left the company had their files transferred to employees who had no idea they were shared publicly. Being able to recognize the risk, communicate what’s happening, and remediate the issue provides security.”

— Brandon Wolf, Senior SaaSOps Engineer
