U.S. Army Customer Story

How the U.S. Army Ensures Its Data Is in the Safe Zone

When the U.S. Army needed to take control of its sprawling data landscape, it turned to BigID. Within weeks, BigID helped Army teams:

  • Discover and classify structured and unstructured data across legacy and cloud systems
  • Identify toxic combinations and reduce risk exposure
  • Operationalize Zero Trust policies for data access and control
  • Gain insight into sensitive data types like PII, PHI, and CUI

Result: Greater mission readiness, lower risk, and a data security strategy aligned with federal mandates.
