Practical and relevant use cases that showcase the capabilities of the Information Security

Enforcer (ISE) subscription license and Endpoint Security (EPS) subscription license.

1. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for Sensitive Documents

Objective: Demonstrate the suite's ability to prevent unauthorized sharing or leakage of sensitive
documents.

Scenario: Simulate an employee attempting to share a confidential document through email or a


cloud storage service. The DLP solution should detect the sensitive content and block the
transmission.

2. Email Encryption and Compliance:

Objective: Showcase the suite's capability to enforce encryption and compliance policies for
outgoing emails.

Scenario: Send an email containing sensitive information. The DLP solution should automatically
encrypt the email and ensure that it complies with relevant data protection regulations.

3. Web Content Filtering and Threat Protection

Objective: Highlight the suite's ability to filter web content and protect endpoints from malicious
websites.

Scenario: Visit a website known for hosting malware. The EPS should block access to the site and
provide a notification. Test the suite's effectiveness in preventing phishing attacks.

4. Endpoint Device Control

Objective: Illustrate the suite's capability to control and manage external devices connected to
endpoints.

Scenario: Connect a USB device to an endpoint. The EPS should identify the device and enforce
policies, such as allowing or blocking access based on predefined rules.

5. Application Control and Whitelisting:

Objective: Demonstrate the suite's ability to control and manage applications running on endpoints.

Scenario: Attempt to run an unauthorized application on an endpoint. The EPS should detect and
block the application, enforcing the organization's application control policies.
6. Insider Threat Detection:

Objective: Showcase the suite's ability to identify and respond to insider threats.

Scenario: Simulate an employee attempting to access or download a large volume of sensitive data. The
suite should detect this unusual behavior and trigger an alert or block access.

7. Mobile Device Management (MDM):

Objective: Highlight the suite's capabilities in securing and managing mobile devices.

Scenario: Connect a mobile device to the corporate network. The suite should enforce security policies,
such as device encryption and remote wipe capabilities.

8. Incident Response and Reporting:

Objective: Demonstrate the suite's incident response capabilities and reporting features.

Scenario: Trigger a security incident, such as a malware detection or a policy violation. Showcase how
the suite responds in real-time and generates detailed reports for further analysis.

9. Inspection of Outbound Network Traffic:

Objective: Monitor and control outbound network traffic to prevent data exfiltration.

Scenario: Attempt to transmit sensitive data over the network. The ISE should inspect and block
unauthorized data transmissions.

10. Collaboration Platform Security:

Objective: Ensure secure collaboration by monitoring and protecting data shared through collaboration
platforms.

Scenario: Share a sensitive document on a collaboration platform. The DLP solution should scan and
control access to the document based on policies.

11. Cloud Application Security:

Objective: Extend security to cloud applications by monitoring and controlling data interactions.
Scenario: Upload sensitive data to a cloud application. The DLP should detect and prevent the upload
based on predefined policies.

12. Data Residency Compliance:


Objective: Enforce data residency regulations by controlling where sensitive data is stored.

Scenario: Attempt to store sensitive data in a location non-compliant with data residency regulations.
The DLP solution should prevent the storage and provide a compliance report.

13. Behavioral Analysis for Endpoint Threat Detection:

Objective: Utilize behavioral analysis to detect and respond to advanced threats on endpoints.

Scenario: Simulate a sophisticated malware attack on an endpoint. The EPS should detect the abnormal
behavior and initiate a response.

14. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Enforcement:

Objective: Strengthen endpoint security by enforcing multi-factor authentication.

Scenario: Attempt to log in to an endpoint without MFA. The EPS should prompt for additional
authentication and deny access without it.

15. Secure Remote Access:

Objective: Ensure secure remote access to corporate resources.

Scenario: Access corporate resources from an unsecured network. The ISE should enforce security
policies, such as VPN usage and endpoint compliance checks.

16. Data Masking in Testing Environments:

Objective: Protect sensitive data in non-production environments during testing.

Scenario: Copy production data to a testing environment. The DLP solution should automatically mask or
anonymize sensitive information to maintain data privacy.

17. Incident Forensics and Investigation:

Objective: Provide tools for incident forensics and investigation.

Scenario: Investigate a security incident by analyzing logs, alerts, and historical data provided by the
suite.

18. Secure File Transfer:


Objective: Enable secure file transfers within and outside the organization.

Scenario: Transfer a sensitive file between endpoints. The DLP solution should ensure encryption and
validate recipient access permissions.

19. Security Awareness Training Integration:

Objective: Integrate with security awareness training platforms to reinforce security education.

Scenario: Monitor and track employees' completion of security awareness training modules. The ISE
should enforce completion before granting access to sensitive data.

20. Automated Patch Management:

Objective: Mitigate vulnerabilities by automating the patch management process on endpoints.

Scenario: Identify an unpatched software vulnerability on an endpoint. The EPS should automatically
download and apply the necessary patches.

21. Inspection of Encrypted Traffic:

Objective: Perform deep inspection of encrypted traffic to detect threats.

Scenario: Attempt to transmit malicious content over an encrypted connection. The ISE should decrypt
and inspect the content for potential threats.

22. Secure Configuration Management:

Objective: Ensure endpoints adhere to secure configurations.

Scenario: Attempt to modify critical system configurations on an endpoint. The EPS should revert
unauthorized changes and notify administrators.

23. Printed Document Security

Objective: Control and monitor sensitive information printed from endpoints.

Scenario: Print a document containing sensitive data. The DLP solution should validate permissions and
monitor or block the print job if necessary.

24. Application Sandboxing:

Objective: Enhance security by isolating and testing potentially malicious applications in a controlled
environment.

Scenario: Run a suspicious application on an endpoint. The EPS should isolate the application in a
sandbox, preventing potential harm to the system.
