BIG NAME CO.
Our Task
Big Name Co.* is an Internet Search Engine that organizes Web-based information, thus making it available for people around the globe. Their main revenue comes from advertisers vying for keywords and phrases on the search result pages, but in order to be competitive in this arena, they needed the ability to securely access websites for research and product ideas. In addition, they wanted an enterprise wide solution that would allow them to investigate any fraudulent “spoofed” pages that were created to draw revenue away from their pages.
What We Architected
When Big Name Co.’s employees were conducting research without IP protection, they knew they were giving out potentially confidential information. Their online “footprints” were exposing their future plans and areas of interest, and their ability to investigate fraudulent sites was greatly diminished. By using Anonymizer Streetwise, they were able to access all of the information they needed without giving away their true online identity.
Success
Big Name Co. has seen a dramatic change in their ability to conduct research and M&A initiatives without giving away their intentions. In addition, their ability to investigate fraudulent “spoofed” websites has enabled them to shut down these types of operations. They are so pleased with their results that they have added Anonymizer’s Geographic Distribution technology, thus allowing them to easily change their IP’s originating location to many regions around the world. With this capability, they have an even greater chance of successfully investigating fraudulent activities worldwide.
* Due to the sensitivity of Anonymizer’s clientele, the name and specific industry of this organization has been changed to protect its true identity.
