Protecting Your Digital Legacy
A prominent Fine Arts and Theatre company faced a critical data loss threat when a departing staff member, disgruntled and intent on causing harm, systematically deleted over 450GB of vital company data from their email account over a six-month period.
This data included irreplaceable video footage, high-resolution images, and crucial project files.

In the event a large data set is erased in a single instance, CORO will flag a governance alert and ticket sent to logic-IT help desk. The timely alert/ticket was escalated to the organizations management team for evaluation.
Once notified, the rogue staff member was questioned, the expected resignation notice was received, and staff member silent. (?)
