As Arla Plast approached its stock market listing, ensuring the security and protection of their information became paramount. Collaborating with the team at Next, Lindström realized the platform's potential went beyond mere training; it could monitor and control the movement of documents and information within the company. Implementing Next led to significant improvements in employees' cyber hygiene. Pop-up educational videos alerted them to potential security breaches or policy violations, helping to avoid unintentional leaks. Gradually, Lindström integrated more of Next’s features, tracking internal documents and ensuring financial compliance. The tool's ability to monitor confidential documents reassured upper management. Lindström stated that removing Next after its integration would leave them feeling vulnerable, likening it to "being blind again".
“It has been a really good implementation,” says Lindström. “In general we don’t even notice the agent on the computer.” Weeks into the successful public listing, Lindström is all smiles. Looking forward, he wants to see what more functionality and features he can integrate with Arla Plast’s network deployment.
He says working with Next DLP has been great: “I like companies where you can bring up suggestions and solicit feedback, and it doesn’t take a long time for you to get that function or at least a plan for that function.” Next’s open sales process allows Lindström and team to find new uses for Reveak and brainstorm potential feature adds. Sometimes, that process is reversed. Lindström describes how adding Next to the company has given him ideas for new ways to use the solution. “Lately, we have been looking at incidents and creating guidelines from there.” Before, he had little awareness of the current pain points of information sharing. With Next, Lindström sees where holes in the system are and starts to adjust their internal policies to address the risks.
It has been easy to pick up for his teams as well. Lindström says he sat with the sales engineer and once he saw examples, it was very easy to learn. Since the addition of Next, “we have found quite a lot of incidents,” remarks Lindström. They are still fine-tuning policies, but overall, it has been a fantastic success.
The listing on NASDAQ went smoothly and the company has gained new visibility into their network and cyber hygiene. “Now we can make sure we do what we promised the stock market—we secure and protect our information the right way,” says Lindström. His team is excited to see what’s next with Next DLP and how they can help their newly public company grow faster than ever.
